Low-risk lifestyle is defined as not currently smoking, aMed diet score in top 40% of distribution, exercise at moderate-to-vigorous intensity for ≥30 min/day and BMI<25 kg/m2. In nonsmokers, low-risk lifestyle is defined as aMed diet score in top 40% of distribution, exercise at moderate-to-vigorous intensity for ≥30 min/day and BMI<25 kg/m2

b

Incidence rate(IR) is per 100,000 person-years of follow-up

c

Relative risks are estimated from Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age (months), family history of MI (no, <60 years, 60+ years), menopausal status (yes / no), current hormone therapy (yes/no), and presence of diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, cancer, coronary heart disease and stroke at baseline (all yes/no). Age, menopausal status and current hormone therapy were treated as time-varying covariates
