Risk factors analysis

‘Healthy’ BMI, smoking status ‘never’, or no hypertension (absence of hypertension records) were considered as reference values.

Hazard Ratio (HR) values with P < 0.0002 were considered to show significant association with disease onset after correction for multiple-testing using the Bonferroni method

N=154060, Events=218

Factor Level Hazard Ratio P value
BMI overweight 0.89 (0.65, 1.23) 0.488
BMI obese 1.16 (0.82, 1.63) 0.404
BMI underweight 0 (0, Inf) 0.989
smoking previous 1.75 (1.31, 2.35) 0.000182
smoking current 2.37 (1.58, 3.55) 3.07e-05
hypertension yes 1 (0.74, 1.36) 0.997
