CHD, coronary heart disease.

Only subjects free of prevalent coronary events at phase 3 with no missing data in any of the predictors were included in the models (n = 6018).

*Established coronary risk factors include high serum cholesterol, hypertension, obesity, exercise, smoking and alcohol consumption.

Other psychosocial risk factors include job strain, effort–reward imbalance and organisational justice.
