Log HRs for cardiovascular events based on 16 sex-specific quantiles of GS and HGS. Univariate (a) and adjusted (b) HRs of group whose GS is below each cut-off value vs. group whose GS is above the cut-off value. Univariate (c) and adjusted (d) HRs of group whose HGS is below each cut-off value vs. group whose HGS is above the cut-off value. Data are presented as HRs (circle) and 95% CI (bar). HRs were calculated using Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age, sex, diabetes, and history of CVD. The cut-off values of GS quantiles were < 0.55, 0.55–0.72, 0.72–0.77, 0.77–0.82, 0.82–0.87, 0.870.89, 089–0.92, 0.92–0.96, 0.96–1.02, 1.02–1.06, 1.06–1.10, 1.10–1.15, 1.15–1.19, 1.19–1.23, 1.23–1.31, and > 1.13 m/s in men, and < 0.52, 0.52–0.62, 0.62–0.70, 0.70–0.81, 0.81–0.87, 0.87–0.89, 0.89–0.92, 0.920.93, 0.93–0.95, 0.95–1.01, 10.1–1.07, 1.07–1.12, 1.12–1.16, 1.16–1.24, 1.24–1.29, and > 1.29 m/s in women. The cut-off values of HGS quantiles were < 17.4, 17.4–20.0, 20.0–20.7, 20.7–22.2, 22.2, 23.1, 23.1–23.9, 23.9–24.9, 24.9–26.2, 26.2–26.9, 26.9–29.0, 29.0–31.0, 31.0–32.1, 32.1–33.6, 33.6–35.7, 35.7–38.6, and > 38.6 kg in men, and < 10.5, 10.5–12.6, 12.6–14.2, 14.2–15.0, 15.0–15.2, 15.2–16.1, 16.116.3, 16.3–17.1, 17.1–18.3, 18.3–19.7, 19.7–20.7, 20.7–21.6, 21.6–21.9, 21.9–22.1, 22.1–24.7, and > 24.7 kg in women
