Sex is coded 0 = male, 1 = female; BMI = body mass index; Cardiovascular Disease = self-reported hypertension and/or cardiac arrhythmias; CI = confidence interval; PHQ-9 cog = Patient Health Questionnaire 9—cognitive factor; PHQ-9 som = Patient Health Questionnaire 9—somatic factor; lnRMSSD = root mean square of successive difference between heart beats, logarithmized; T1 = first attended measurement time point; T2 = measurement time point with the largest time-lag to T1.
*CI does not include zero.
