Distribution of traditional atherosclerotic risk factors in the different surveys.

<p>In total 5970 were included in the study in 1994/95, and of these, 5179 and 4391 were re-measured in the 2001–02 and 2007–08, respectively.</p

Intra-individual variability over time.

<p>Subjects were divided into quintiles at baseline in Tromsø 4 according to their baseline value of a certain risk factor. The mean value in each group is represented in the figure. Values were updated after approximately 7 and 13 years, in Tromsø 5 and Tromsø 6, respectively.</p

Age (as time scale)- and sex-adjusted hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) by traditional atherosclerotic risk factors using three different approaches; time-fixed model, time-varying model and correction for regression dilution through Rosners´s method.

Age (as time scale)- and sex-adjusted hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) by traditional atherosclerotic risk factors using three different approaches; time-fixed model, time-varying model and correction for regression dilution through Rosners´s method.
