1At mortality follow-up in 2022
2Dietary scores adjusted for total energy intake using residual method and subsequent addition of a constant based on mean energy intake of the study population
3Because of missing values of blood pressure in one subject, here total sample n = 835
Values of categorical variables are n (%) and of continuous variables are median [IQR]. All values except for survival time and mortality status are baseline characteristics collected at the second examination cycle of the popgen control cohort
