  1. Data are OR (95% Cl).
  2. Model 1, adjusted for age category (logistic regression).
  3. Model 2, adjusted for age category, smoking, alcohol consumption (abstainers and low, moderate and high intake according to g/wk consumption), cardiovascular disease and adulthood socioeconomic status.
  4. Model 3 adjusted for Model 2 and body mass index, serum C-reactive protein and plasma fibrinogen.
  5. Model 4 adjusted for Model 2 and elevated depressive symptoms (Human Population Laboratory Depression Scale).
