Sensitivity analysis: risk ratios (95% CI) of CV mortality according to categories of nut consumption.

Cardiovascular mortality
Frequency of nut consumption	Never	1-3/month	1/week	≥2/week	p for trend
Excluding those who died in the first two years (n = 39,082)

The never nut consumption category is the reference category.

BMI = body mass index (kg/m²).

Adjusted for age, BMI, smoking, alcohol (g/day), and physical activity, postmenopausal status (yes or no), and family history of myocardial infarction in parent <60 years-old (yes or no).

Adjusted for the above variables plus marital status, the alternate healthy eating index score excluding nuts.
