Figure 2 Cardiovascular event-free survival curves of control subjects (bottom black line), patients with metabolic syndrome (middle black line), and diabetic patients (top black line). Normal patients: relative risk 1.00 (reference category); metabolic syndrome patients: relative risk 1.23, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06 to 1.42, p = 0.005; diabetic patients: relative risk 1.47, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.70, p < 0.0001. CV = cardiovascular. Methods as in Figure 1.
