Figure 2 Primary outcome, the difference in change in estimated cardiovascular (CV) risk between the intervention and control groups at 3 months, found a relative risk reduction of 20% (absolute reduction, 5.03; 95% confidence interval, 3.4-6.65; P<0.001) in estimated CV risk over a 3-month period between the intervention and control groups, after adjusting for baseline values and the center effect.
