Rate of Acute Myocardial Infarction (age 40+)

26% higher

Rate of Stroke Incidence (age 40+)

3.6 vs. 2.9 per 1000; RR = 1.26 (1.12, 1.41); p < 0.001

26% higher

  1. RR = Relative Rate; 95% CI = 95% Confidence Intervals; NS = not statistically significant
  2. *life expectancy and PYLL were not calculated using regression, hence do not have 95% CIs
