Attending cultural events*	Crude HR (CI)	Sex-adjusted and age-adjusted HR† (CI)	Fully adjusted HR‡ (CI)
Lowest (25%)	3.79 (3.14 to 4.57)	2.06 (1.72 to 2.47)	1.63 (1.34 to 2.00)
Middle (50%)	1.49 (1.24 to 1.79)	1.42 (1.19 to 1.69)	1.25 (1.03 to 1.51)
Highest (25%)	1 (reference)	1 (reference)	1 (reference)

*Based on factor scores from a principal component analysis (including the variables: visiting cinema, theatre, concert, art museum, other museums and sermon), the participants were approximately grouped into four quartiles (the intermediate quartiles were combined).

†Adjusted for sex and age (in 8-year groups).

‡Adjusted for all covariates (ie, sex; age in 8-year bands; education; marital status, socially isolated; region of residence; long-term disease; daily (tobacco) smoking and physical exercise).
