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=153994, Events=756

Factor Level Hazard Ratio P value
BMI overweight 1.05 (0.88, 1.25) 0.587
BMI obese 1.28 (1.06, 1.55) 0.0117
BMI underweight 0 (0, Inf) 0.98
smoking previous 1.34 (1.15, 1.57) 0.000256
smoking current 2.1 (1.7, 2.6) 8.79e-12
