HR indicates hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; PYs, person-years; MET, metabolic equivalent task; FV: fruits and vegetables; BMI, body mass index; and WHR, waist-to-hip ratio. Multivariable model was adjusted for age, sex, education, marital status, family history of heart attack, and prevalent hypertension at baseline. All six lifestyle factors were included simultaneously in the same model.

Linear trend test for smoking was only performed in current smokers and alcohol consumption in current daily drinkers.
