RFFT
Numeric, performance on the Ruff Figural Fluency Test. Scores range from 0 (worst) to 175 (best).
VAT
Numeric, Visual Association Test score. The VAT is a learning task based on image recognition. Scores may range from 0 (worst) to 12 (best)
CVD
History of cardiovascular event. Numeric vector: 0 = No; 1 = Yes.
DM
Diabetes mellitus (Type 2 diabetes) status at enrollment. Numeric vector: 0 = No; 1 = Yes.
Smoking
Smoking status at enrollment. numeric vector: 0 = No; 1 = Yes.
Hypertension
status of hypertension at enrollment. Numeric vector: 0 = No; 1 = Yes.
BMI
Numeric, body mass index, weight divided by height-squared, in kg/m^2
SBP
Numeric, systolic blood pressure, in mmHg
DBP
Numeric, diastolic blood pressure, in mmHg
MAP
Numeric, mean arterial pressure, in mmHg
eGFR
Numeric, estimated glomerular filtration rate, a measure of kidney function. Low values indicate possible kidney damage, in mL/min.
Albuminuria.1
Albuminuria (mg/24hr) in two categories. Numeric vector: 0 = (< 30); 1 = (\(\ge\) 30)
Albuminuria.2
Albuminuria (mg/24hr) in three categories. Numeric: 0 = (0 to < 10), 1 = (10 to < 30); 3 = (\(\ge\) 30).
Chol
Numeric, total cholesterol, in mmol/L.
HDL
Numeric, HDL cholesterol, in mmol/L.
Statin
Statin use at enrollment. Numeric vector: 0 = No; 1 = Yes.
Solubility
Statin solubility.Numeric vector: 0 = lipophilic; 1 = hydrophilic; 2 = no statin use. NA indicates statin solubility is missing.
Days
Numeric, total duration of statin use, in days. -1 indicates participant did not use statins
Years
Numeric, total duration of statin use, in years. -1 indicates participant did not use statins.
DDD
Defined daily dose of the statin. Numeric vector: From the PLOS One paper, "DDD is defined by the WHO as the drug units representing dosages with approximately similar efficacy. One DDD corresponds to the following dosage for each statin respectively: Simvastatin 30 mg, Pravastatin 30 mg, Fluvastatin 60 mg, Atorvastatin 20 mg and Rosuvastatin 10 mg."
FRS
Framingham risk score. Numeric vector. The score, a measure of risk for a cardivascular event within 10 years. Higher values imply increased use. For details see D’Agostino RBS, Vasan RS, Pencina MJ, Wolf PA, Cobain M, et al. (2008) General cardiovascular risk profile for use in primary care: The Framingham Heart Study. Circulation 117: 743–753.
PS
Propensity score of statin use. Numeric vector. See the PLOS One paper for the model used to calculate the score
PSquint
Quintile of PS. Numeric vector.
GRS
Indicator for random sample of 1638 Groningen residents in the study. Numeric vector.
Match_1
Numeric, statin users and non-users matched 1:1 on age and educational level. Matched pairs share a common integer label. -1 indicates participant not matched.
Match_2
Numeric, statin users and non-users matched 1:1 on Framingham risk score. Matched pairs share a common integer label. -1 indicates participant not matched
