Cox regression models used to calculate hazard incident nonfatal (definite or probable myocardial infarction) acute death, adjusting age, age last menstrual period <45 years, region, education level, income, diabetes, smoking, systolic blood pressure, lipid levels, albumin‐creatinine ratio, physical activity, C‐reactive protein, body mass index, waist circumference, medication use. White women natural (hazard ratio [HR], 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.31, 0.66) surgical (HR, 0.65; CI, 0.42, 0.99) had a reduced events, compared white men. Black 0.69; 0.47, 1.03), but not 0.81; 0.51, 1.29), marginally black Women lower risk death than men regardless their race.
