Linear regression was fitted by including all five lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, diet score, and body mass index) simultaneously in the same model, with methylation values as dependent variables, and age, sex, study area, fasting time, education level, marital status and batch as covariates. CpG = cytosine-phosphoguanine site; SE = standard error. Alcohol consumption and physical activity were not associated with any of the coronary heart disease-associated CpGs. Details were reported in the Table 3—source data 1.
