Model 1 adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 additionally adjusted for antithrombotic medication, antihypertensive drugs, diabetes mellitus, lipid-reducing agents, BMI, smoking, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. “All strokes” indicates ischemic, hemorrhagic, and unspecified strokes. Any cerebrovascular event indicates all strokes and TIA. Cutoff points (%) for quartiles were: ≤80.73%, 80.74-91.44%, 91.45-102.26%, and ≥102.27%.
