  1. Values are presented as n (%) unless stated otherwise
  2. SD standard deviation, CAD coronary artery disease; CCTA: coronary computed tomographic angiography, CACS coronary artery calcium score
  3. aObstructive CAD was defined as an individual had at least one lesion with ≥ 50% diameter stenosis or any non-assessable segments because of severe calcification on CCTA
