Based on 8 health components: smoking, BMI, physical activity, total cholesterol, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, 2 dietary indices: Recommended Food Score, non-Recommended Food Score.

Basic: adjusted for age, education, gender, ethnicity.

Model 2: adjusted for Basic covariates + height, weight, heart rate, mean arterial pressure (all at wave 7).

Model 3: adjusted for Basic covariates + Model 2 covariates + self-rated health.
