aWeighted deaths and person-years were estimated by accounting for complex sampling design (strata, cluster, sampling weight)

bMV-adjusted model included age (in month, as time metameter), sex (male, female), marital status (married, divorced/separated/widowed, never married), education (less than high school, high school, college or higher), occupation (non-physical labor, physical labor, unemployed), household income (quartiles), region (rural, urban), smoking status (never, former, current), physical activity (< 10, ≥10 MET-h/wk), body mass index (< 18.5, 18.5–22.9, 23.0–24.9, ≥25.0 kg/m2), and alcohol drinking (glass/day)

cAdditionally included self-rated health (very good, good, fair, poor)

dAdditionally included self-rated health (very good, good, fair, poor) and metabolic syndrome (present, absent, missing)

Note: All models were accounted for complex sampling design (sampling weight, cluster, strata)
