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=153595, Events=126

Factor Level Hazard Ratio P value
BMI overweight 0.75 (0.51, 1.1) 0.143
BMI obese 0.53 (0.31, 0.88) 0.014
BMI underweight 0 (0, Inf) 0.992
smoking previous 1.05 (0.71, 1.56) 0.804
smoking current 1.31 (0.76, 2.25) 0.339
hypertension yes 1.64 (1.09, 2.47) 0.0186
