Adjusted for age (years), sex (female, male), education (< high school, high school, > high school), smoking categories (never, former, current), alcohol intake (never drinker, former drinker, current light drinker, current moderate drinker, current heavy drinker), body mass index categories (normal, overweight, obese), no exercise (absent, present), depression categories (absent, chronic, not chronic), diabetes (absent, present), hypertension (absent, present), cardiovascular disease (absent, present).

The sample size for both the age, sex-adjusted, and multivariable models are the same.
