  3. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***P<0.001 in the HR comparisons of the TRIAD models with original models. Note that in comparing HRs with the Framingham-initial equations, the actual p-values may be slightly bigger than those reported here because the standard errors of the original regression coefficient estimates were not provided in original study [4] and they were not included in these calculations.
