Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease per 5% decrease (A) or increase (B) in the PCE risk score over 5-year intervals stratified by age, sex, and race. All HRs were adjusted for educational attainment, family income, body mass index, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level, statin usage, and estimated glomerular filtration rate.
