Model 1: adjusted for age, ethnicity, and sex.

Model 2: Model 1+ Townsend deprivation index, center, alcohol intake, smoking status, physical activity, sedentary hour, and healthy diet score.

Model 3: Model 2+ BMI, SBP, antihypertension meds, high cholesterol, and T2D-GRS.

BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; GRS, genetic risk score; HR, hazard ratio; SBP, systolic blood pressure; T2D, type 2 diabetes.
