  1. All results were computed using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis adjusted by baseline chronological age and gender
  2. HR hazard ratio, CIs confidence intervals
  3. p values < 0.001 for all baseline chronological age subgroups and event types except in the 20–39 years subgroup when the cause of death was cancer
