Figure 4

Hazard ratio estimates associated with best predictor variables. The hazard ratio was estimated using single-variable Cox PH models for each of the best predictor variables listed in Table 1. Each point represents a hazard ratio estimate, and horizontal lines correspond to 95% confidence intervals associated with this estimated value. Black points correspond to hazard ratios estimated using data from all n = 4097 subjects. Hazard ratios were separately estimated based upon the n = 467 cancer deaths (red points), the n = 426 cardiovascular deaths (green points), and the n = 586 non-accidental/non-cancer/non-cardiovascular deaths (blue points). Cause-specific ratios were calculated by treating the n deaths assigned to a specific cause as non-censored, with censoring applied to deaths assigned to any other cause.
