All analyses based on imputed dataset

aAdjusted for age. Analysis is stratified by prior coronary events before the index event or not

bAdjusted for coronary risk factors with p-value< 0.1 in crude or age adjusted analyses (smoking, LDL cholesterol, physical activity and systolic blood pressure) in addition to adjustments in Model 1

cAdjusted for cardiovascular comorbidity with p-value < 0.1 in crude analyses (stroke, peripheral artery disease and kidney failure) in addition to adjustments in Model 2

dCompletion of primary or secondary school only

eAdequate physical activity is defined as ≥moderate physical activity for 30 min 2–3 times a week, low physical activity is defined as <moderate physical activity for 30 min 2–3 times a week, and physical inactivity as physical activity < 1 time a week
