What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to first occurrence of any component of the composite event (cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke) as adjudicated by the Clinical Events Committee (CEC)

    Time frame: 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to first occurrence of a composite with components as adjudicated by the CEC: cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke (in each of the subgroups with or without evidence of T2D at baseline)

    Time frame: 5 years

  2. Time to first occurrence of a composite with components as adjudicated by the CEC: all-cause mortality, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke (in each of the subgroups with or without evidence of T2D at baseline)

    Time frame: 5 years
