  • CI = confidence intervals. CVD =cardiovascular disease. HR = hazard ratio. IT = intensive treatment. MI = motivational interviewing. RC = routine care. SD = standard deviation.

  • aNumbers too small to report (Denmark Statistics regulations).

  • Some percentages may not add up to expected total due to reducing cohort size over time and a small amount of missing data for some variables.
