CVD, cardiovascular disease; Lifestyle Score based on smoking status, BMI, diet quality, physical activity, sleep duration and sedentary time. Favourable lifestyle was 4 or more health behaviours; intermediate lifestyle was 2 or 3 health behaviours; unfavourable lifestyle was 0 or 1 health behaviours. Analyses were adjusted for age (time scale), sex (when not used to stratify), deprivation (categorical). PRS was also adjusted for the first 8 principal components of ancestry and genotyping batch. Models include the main effects of diet quality and PRS without interaction terms.
