[number of patients per patient group with non-missing SCORE; proportion of all patients with non-missing SCORE].
SCORE Score in relation to BMI and waist circumference [13]. N means number of patients in each cell with non-missing SCORE; % of inner 9 cells adds up to 100%; the figure displayed is the risk for cardiovascular death for the next 10 years calculated with the SCORE score. Crude/age-standardized mean are reported. * means that the total N in this cell is 30 or below and therefore the direct age standardization may have led to unreliable results.).
