  1. Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using Cox hazards models adjusted for age, sex, and baseline levels of triglyceride and casual glucose. P values for heterogeneity were obtained by fitting interaction terms. Data of subgroups whose hazard ratios could not be calculated because of small samples are not shown
  2. Abbreviations: ARB, angiotensin type II receptor blocker; CCB, calcium channel blocker; H2 blocker, histamine2-receptor antagonist; NSAID, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug
