  1. Data were analyzed using Weibull regression to obtain HRs and 95% CIs.
  2. Model 1: unadjusted model.
  3. Model 2: adjusted for age, sex.
  4. Model 3: additionally adjusted for ethnicity, Townsend deprivation index, educational attainment, alcohol intake, and baseline cardiovascular disease.
