Figure 4 RR and 95% CI for Metabolic Syndrome and Incident Cardiovascular Events and Death

Studies are listed in chronological order by year that their cohorts were created (except for the last study listed, which includes multiple cohorts). Results are for available analyses of incident cardiovascular disease and death, and may differ from the results of the total study populations. Boxes represent the relative risk (RR), and lines represent the 95% confidence interval (CI) for studies. The diamond represents the pooled RR, and its width represents its 95% CI.
