Model 1: age, sex, model 2: model 1 plus education (never or elementary; low; intermediate; high vocational), total energy intake (kilocalories per day), smoking (never; former; current), physical activity (METs-h per week). Model 3: model 2 plus BMI (kg/m²), waist-hip-ratio, total cholesterol (mmol/L), SBP (mmHg).

Abbreviations: CI, confidence Interval; IRR, incidence rate ratio; MET, metabolic equivalent; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

¹IRR, CI - means reference.
