x = censored due to diagnosis of cardiovascular disease: • = censored due to death from diseases other than cardiovascular disease.
Table 1.
Characteristics of EPIC-Norfolk participants included in this analysis by levels of estimated 10-year absolute cardiovascular risk, the Framingham risk score (FRS), at the baseline health examination (n = 12,197).
Fig 2.
Rates of a first cardiovascular events by levels of estimated absolute risk at the first (FRS1) and second health examination four years later (FRS2).
Note: The line above each bar indicates the 95% confidence interval, and the number above each bar represents the number of participants in each risk category.
