  • RR with 95% CI based on univariate Poisson regression model.

  • Laboratory measurements in tertiles ‘[a,b)’ means that interval a–b is closed left and open right. The data on variables are collected at baseline.

  • HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; RR, rate ratio.
