Results of Cox proportional hazard modeling for mortality risk in NHANES III with the linear predictors shown. All models also included as predictors sex and race. The hazard ratios are given with 95% confidence intervals. = Akaike information criterion score difference relative to the best-performing model shown (see Methods for details); = measure of explained variation; C = concordance; HR = hazard ratio.
