Hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) were adjusted for age, sex, educational years, low family income, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, tea-drinking, physical activity, obesity, hypertension, type II diabetes, stroke, heart diseases, cancer, and depression. LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
