^aOthers: divorced, widowed, or single.

Base model hazard ratio: adjusted for the following variables (except for stratifying variables); age (continuous variable), sex (men or women), marital status (married, divorced/widowed, or single), education (in school until age ≤15 years, age 16–18 years, or age ≥19 years).
