Hazard ratios represent risks of all-cause mortality across light exposure percentile groups, compared to a reference light exposure group, for day and night light. Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, and photoperiod; Model 2 was additionally adjusted for employment status, education, income, and deprivation; Model 3 was further adjusted for physical activity, smoking status, alcohol consumption, urbanicity, and social activity.
