Hazard ratio (solid line) and 95% confidence interval (dashed lines) from age and study adjusted Cox regression using restricted cubic splines. The concentration of HDL cholesterol associated with lowest mortality was used as reference. The light blue area indicates the distribution of HDL cholesterol concentrations in men and women. CI, confidence interval; HDL, high-density lipoprotein.
