Participants with self-reported or diagnosed history of stroke, myocardial infarction or cancer at baseline were excluded.

Models are adjusted for age, gender, education level, smoking status, alcohol consumption, medication for hypertension, medication for dyslipidaemia, medication for depression, baseline diabetes status, family history of cardiovascular disease, sleep duration and total physical activity energy expenditure.

*Models did not include gender;

†6.6% of participants had missing data.
