HR1 (95% CI): adjusted for age and sex.

HR2 (95% CI): adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, Townsend deprivation index, smoking status, alcohol intake, body mass index, family history of cardiovascular disease, family history of diabetes, diabetes duration, use of hypoglycemic agents, and use of lipid-lowing medication.

Major depressive disorder determined based on hospital inpatient admission records and self-report, and depressive symptoms assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-2.
