^aDemographic and biological risk factors—age, marital status, country of residence, socio-economic status, systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, height, BMI, and diabetes

^bBehavioral risk factors—fruit and vegetable intake, physical activity, current smoking, and current alcohol consumption

^cOther psychological risk factors—depression score and social support score

SHR—Standardized hazard ratio (per 1 standard deviation increase in hostility score)

Significant relationships (p < 0.05) are emboldened
