The estimates were generated using Cox proportional hazards models.
Hazard ratios were adjusted for age at recruitment (years), gender, dialect (Cantonese, Hokkien), education level (no formal education, primary school, ≥ secondary school), year of interview (1993–1995, 1996–1998), body mass index (kg/m2), physical activity (any weekly moderate activity, vigorous activity or strenuous sports lasting at least 30 minutes: yes or no), smoking status (never-, ever-smokers), alcohol use (none, monthly, weekly, daily), total energy intake (kcal/day), total protein intake (g/day, quartiles), red meat consumption (g/day, quartiles) and coffee consumption (none to < 1 cup/day, 1 cup/day, ≥ 2 cups/day), weekly ginseng intake (yes or no), weekly medicinal soup intake (yes or no) and incense use (current users, non-current users).
In addition to above, hazard ratios were adjusted for self-reported history of physician-diagnosed hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease and stroke (yes or no).
