¹HR hazard ratio; CI confidence interval.

²‘Lifestyle/clinical model’: Adjusted for age, survey, regular smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, actual hypertension and dyslipidemia.

³‘Psychosocial stressors model’: Adjusted for age, survey, low educational level, not employed, low social network, living alone, high job strain, low self- perceived health, depressed mood and high level of somatic complaints.

⁴‘Full model’: Adjusted for age, survey, regular smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, actual hypertension, dyslipidemia, low educational level, not employed, low social network, living alone, high job strain, low self- perceived health, depressed mood and high level of somatic complaints.
