• The primary outcome was a composite of a first or subsequent CVD event: cardiovascular death; myocardial infarction, hospitalized unstable angina, or coronary revascularization; ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, or cerebrovascular revascularization; peripheral arterial revascularization; hospitalization for heart failure; or hospitalization for atrial fibrillation. Multivariate-adjusted marginal Cox proportional hazards modeling using the Wei-Lin-Weissfeld method for recurrent events (2) was used to calculate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the primary outcome associated with baseline measurements of each adiposity marker.
