Relative changes of the prevalences of risk factors from SHIP-Trend compared to SHIP prevalences, age- and sex-standardized on the population of from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2006.

Absolute numbers of incident cases of MI in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2006 and 2017 with and without considering the changes in the prevalences of risk factors between 1997–2001 and 2008–2011.

Results of the Poisson regression model (dependent variable: MI incidence between SHIP baseline and 5-year-follow-up.
The coefficients of the risk factors of this model were used to compute the MI counts for the 5-year period following the baseline examination of SHIP-Trend.
