The relative risks (RRs) and 95% CIs of SES and lifestyle habits on 10-year Framingham risk score of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by sex- and age-stratified groups. Panel: (a) For subjects aged 20–39 years; (b) for subjects aged 40–64 years; (c) for aged ≥65 years. The statistics appropriate models were selected with Bayesian information criterion, based on the maximum likelihood method. Only RRs with significant values are shown, with these RRs being calculated by the GEE model adjusted with all covariates, including BMI and medicinal treatment. Each compared group (baseline) of explanatory variables was stable no/low status through the three study stages. The line presenting an increase, indicates the characteristic from absent to appear or the level from lower to higher, and vice versa.
