Values are presented as mean coefficients averaged over all bootstrapped samples (nn=1000). Bold font signifies a percentage of appearance of at least 70%. All models were adjusted for age, marital status, employment status, family history of CVD or diabetes, use of medication, smoking status, total sleep period and daily energy intake.
