Model 1: Adjusted for age, ethnicity, education, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, coronary artery disease, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, smoking, dietary modification intervention, and hormone therapy intervention. Model 2: Adjusted for all variables in model 1, in addition to body mass index. HR reported per 5 unit increase in each predictor.

HR, hazard ratios; CI, confidence intervals.
