Note: The hazard ratios (HR) denote increased (HR > 1) or decreased (HR < 1) rate of lapsing. The reference range for both the SF‐12 physical component score (PCS) and SF‐12 mental component score (MCS) is 0–100. Higher scores indicates better physical health for PCS and better mental health for MCS. Further adjusted HRs were adjusted for region (of residence at time of invitation), attained highest education (short(basic school), medium, long(12+ years)), and income (percentile of personal annual income). In addition, the predictors PCS, MCS, and BMI were also adjusted for smoking status, diet, alcohol consumption, and physical activity.
