a HRs (hazard ratios) and 95% CI (confidence intervals) were derived from Cox models using attained age as the time scale, adjusted for year of birth (1942-46, 1947-51, 1952-56 and 1957-62).
b HRs (hazard ratios) and 95% CI (confidence intervals) were derived from Cox models using attained age as the time scale, adjusted for year of birth, body mass index, smoking, physical activity, total energy intake, years of education, history of diabetes and hypertension.
