  • NRI was calculated using event rate categories <10%, 10–20%, >20%.

  • AVC, aortic valve calcification; CAC, coronary artery calcification; CVD, cardiovascular disease; FRV, Framingham risk variables (including age, sex, diabetes, systolic blood pressure, LDL and HDL cholesterol, and present smoking status); HDL, high density lipoprotein; IDI, integrated discrimination improvement; LDL, low density lipoprotein; NRI, net reclassification index; Tert., tertile.
