3 METHODS SUPPLEMENT Cohorts Included in the Cardiovascular Lifetime Risk Pooling Project The following cohorts were included: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, 1 Framingham Heart Study, 2 Framingham Offspring Study, 3 Honolulu Heart Program, 4-5 and Puerto Rico Heart Health Project. 6 Data were also obtained from the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Epidemiologic Follow-up Study, 7 the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey II Mortality Study, 8 the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III Mortality Follow-up Study 9, the Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly, 10 the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly, the Kaiser Permanente Study of the Oldest Old, 13 the Tecumseh Community Health Study 14, Cardiovascular Health Study, 15 the Women s Health Initiative Observational Study 16, the Chicago Heart Association Detection Project in Industry, the People s Gas and Western Electric studies, and the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) screenees (i.e. non-trial participants) 21. Event Ascertainment and Definitions Events were ascertained using several strategies selected by each cohort s investigator group. For death events, many cohorts used linkage to the National Death Index for underlying cause of death from death certificate data, whereas others used adjudicated cause of death by study investigators after review of all available medical records and/or autopsy data. For the present analyses, all-cause mortality and deaths due to cardiovascular disease (as adjudicated, or indicated by ICD 9 codes 390 to 458, or equivalent codes from ICD-8 or 10) or coronary heart disease (as adjudicated, or indicated by ICD 9 codes 410 to 414 or equivalent) were included. Non-fatal events of interest, including myocardial infarction and stroke, were obtained only from studies that adjudicated events, with two exceptions. Criteria for adjudication of myocardial infarction and stroke have been published for these cohorts: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, 1 the Cardiovascular Health Study, 15 the Framingham Heart Study and Framingham Offspring Study, the Honolulu Heart Program, 24 and the Women s Health 2

4 Initiative 16. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction generally required at least two of the following criteria for diagnosis: typical chest discomfort, evolution of electrocardiographic abnormalities consistent with myocardial infarction, and serologic evidence of myocardial necrosis. Diagnosis of stroke generally required persistent central neurologic deficit(s) lasting longer than 24 hours and unexplained by other causes. Two cohorts (Kaiser Old 13 and First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study 7 ) ascertained incident myocardial infarction and stroke events from hospitalization discharge code data. For these two cohorts, we only counted the first hospitalization for which myocardial infarction (ICD-9 code 410, or equivalent) or stroke (ICD-9 code 430 to 438, or equivalent) was the first-listed discharge diagnosis. For the present study, all participants were included for analyses of lifetime risks for cardiovascular disease death or coronary heart disease death; for analyses of composite endpoints that included incident non-fatal events (coronary heart disease death or non-fatal myocardial infarction, fatal or non-fatal stroke), we included only those participants who were free of prevalent myocardial infarction or stroke, respectively, at the index age (age at beginning of observation). Secondary Statistical Analyses In secondary analyses, we tested for the effect of secular trends in long-term CVD risk by stratifying our analyses across different birth cohorts. We stratified the pooled cohort into those individuals born prior to and after 1920 with risk factors measured at age 55 years. This stratification allowed us to compare lifetime risk estimates for CVD death to age 75 years across different birth cohorts with significant differences in risk factor levels. Similarly, we analyzed separately the association between risk factor burden measured at age 55 years and lifetime risk for CVD death across three nationally representative samples (NHANES I, II, and III) derived from different birth cohorts. Of note, because the younger birth cohorts have shorter follow-up periods, these secondary analyses for 55 year olds were restricted to 20 years of follow-up (i.e. thru age 75 years). Finally, additional secondary analyses were performed for blacks and whites separately in the pooled cohort and in MRFIT screenees. 3
