Physical activity was assessed at JHS visit 1 and 3 only; data restricted to LSS assessed at more than one visit to assess any change over time. Smoking and diet were only assessed at visit 1.

Unable to estimate confidence interval due to very small numbers.

Sample sizes included 1934 male participants at JHS visit 1 (2000–2004); 1474 participants at JHS visit 2 (2005–2009); and 1377 people at JHS visit 3 (2009–2013).

Corresponding numbers for female were 3367, 2720, and 2438, respectively.
