  Figure 1 Associations between changes in risk-factor status and ASCVD events.The risk of ASCVD events is shown according to the increase (left) and decrease (right) in the number of risk factors between baseline and follow-up health screenings. HRs with 95% confidence intervals, calculated using multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models, are depicted by rhombus marks (♦) for conventional calculation and square marks (■) for Firth’s penalized likelihood procedures.ASCVD = atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; HR = hazard ratio.*HRs and 95% confidence intervals were unavailable due to the limited number of subjects and events.
