Kaplan Meier survival curves for women (n = 1832, in red, at the top) and men (n = 1917, in blue, at the bottom).
Dashed lines are 95% CI. Factor is sex, outcome is incident stroke, logrank test 10.8 on 1 df, p<0.00099.

Data are given as mean values and standard deviations (SD) and percentages if not otherwise mentioned.
