  1. In multi-state model 1, the state 3 is CVD death. Numbers and percentages of population in each transition are similar according to both JNC7 and the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines
  2. In multi-state model 2, the state 3 is all cause-death. Numbers and percentages of population in each transition are similar according to both JNC7 and the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines
