aAdjusted for age, smoking status, alcohol intake, body mass index, hypertension, total cholesterol, and diabetes.

bAge-adjusted rate (per 100 000 person years).

Model 1: Without exclusion of early cases (those occurring within 3 years of the starting point).

Model 2: After exclusion of early cases (those occurring within 3 years of the starting point).
