  Figure 1. Overall incidence rates, incidence rate ratios, and women-to-men ratios of first-time major adverse cardiovascular events including heart failure, stratified by diabetes-status (incidence rates only) and sex (incidence rates and incidence rate ratios only). Higher incidence rate ratio in men if women-to-men ratios <1, and higher incidence rate ratio in women if women-to-men ratios >1. IR, incidence rates; IRR, incidence rate ratios; MACE-HF, major adverse cardiovascular events including heart failure; PY, person-years; WMR, women-to-men ratios.

  Figure 2. (A–C) Incidence rates (A), incidence rate ratios (B), and women-to-men ratios (C) of first-time major adverse cardiovascular events including heart failure according to age, stratified by diabetes-status (incidence rates only) and sex (incidence rates and incidence rate ratios only). Higher incidence rate ratio in men if women-to-men ratios <1, and higher incidence rate ratio in women if women-to-men ratios >1. IR, incidence rates; IRR, incidence rate ratios; MACE-HF, major adverse cardiovascular events including heart failure; PY, person-years; WMR, women-to-men ratios.
