Legend: * Stroke and/or MI; MAU microalbuminuria, HR Hazard ratio, CI confidence interval; † For multivariable adjustment of HRs, variables being significantly different at baseline (see Table 1 with a p-value < 0.05) were considered: age, body mass index, diabetes, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, total and HDL-cholesterol, the use of ACEi/ARBs, calciumantagonists, insulin, oral antidiabetic drugs and differences in the functional status as well as stroke subtype (TOAST), coronary artery disease and symptomatic peripheral artery disease as outlined in the methods section.
