  • * Crude hazard ratio.

  • Adjusted for urban status, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, hyperlipidemia and abruption.

  • Adjusted for the variables in model 2, plus hypertension and diabetes during follow-up.

  • § Time-depended model, adjusted for the variables in model 3.

  • Poisson regression.

  • ** Cox proportional hazards regression.
