aBasically adjusted = Adjusted by gender and age; bFully adjusted = Basically adjusted + adjustment for self-reported health status, smoking and education. (Test for interaction TUG in fifths by gender in basically adjusted model: p = 0.835; Test for interaction TUG in fifths by gender in fully adjusted model: p = 0.789)
