Junior high school (vs. senior high school or higher) | 1.67 (1.08–2.59) | 0.022 |
Habitual exercise, ≥ 3 hours/week (vs. rar align="center"ely/never) | 0.81 (0.50–1.30) | 0.38 |
Habitual exercise, 1–2 hours/week (vs. rarely/never) | 0.99 (0.69–1.42) | 0.97 |
Parental history of hypertension | 0.97 (0.70–1.33) | 0.83 |

Each hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) was adjusted by age and sex, while age was adjusted by sex and vice versa. Age per 1 standard deviation corresponded to 7.6 years.
