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=153944, Events=165

Factor Level Hazard Ratio P value
BMI overweight 0.93 (0.64, 1.33) 0.683
BMI obese 0.99 (0.66, 1.49) 0.954
BMI underweight 0 (0, Inf) 0.994
smoking previous 1.57 (1.13, 2.18) 0.00649
smoking current 1.16 (0.66, 2.02) 0.611
hypertension yes 0.69 (0.47, 1.01) 0.0533
