ARD indicates absolute rate difference; CVH, cardiovascular health; HR, hazard ratio; Ref, reference; and sHR, subhazard ratio.

*

Cardiovascular disease was adjusted for sex, age, economic status, Hospital Frailty Score, living in metropolitan cities, and competing risk of death.

All‐cause mortality was adjusted for sex, age, economic status, Hospital Frailty Score, and living in metropolitan cities.

P<0.0083 for differences reported.
