Here's the short answer, (you don't really want to see the entire explaination)

For health risks that have a Hazard Ratio greater than one, it means that the chances of getting that health risk increased with the treatment. For health risks that have a Hazard Ratio less than one, it means that the chances of getting that health risk decreased with the treatment.
