Model 1: Unadjusted; including only spousal risk factor. Model 2: Included model 1 + SES. Model 3: Included model 2 + index individual's age + index individual's own value of the respective spousal risk factor. Model 4: Adjusted for model 3 + all risk factors in index individual including BMI, PAL, smoking, and type 2 diabetes. Model 5: Adjusted for model 4 + all spousal risk factors including BMI, PAL, smoking, and type 2 diabetes.

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; PAL, physical activity level; SES, socioeconomic status.
