  1. All predictor variables were included simultaneously in the model. Continuous predictor variables were centered as follows: age at 50 years, physical activity level at 20 MET-h/d, daily fresh fruits intake at 80 g, daily red meat intake at 50 g, daily fish/seafood intake at 20 g, systolic blood pressure at 120 mmHg, and resting heart rate at 80 beats/min.
  2. PYs indicates person-years, HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval, MET-h/d metabolic equivalent task hours per day, COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, -- not applicable.
  3. *Former smoking status was defined as having quit smoking for reasons other than illness. Participants who had quit smoking due to illness were defined as current smoking status.
  4. Less than daily group included both never-regular drinkers and current weekly drinkers. Former alcohol drinkers were included in the heavy drinking category (≥60 g of pure alcohol per day).
  5. Cox models were stratified by 10 regions. Baseline survival at 5 years (S0[5]) was calculated by pooling the S0(5) across regions weighted by the number of deaths by 5 years.
