  1. Model 1 = the pessimism score is included as a continuous variable
  2. Model 2 = the pessimism score has been divided into quartiles and the highest quartile has been compared with the lowest
  3. Both models include the presence of CHD and the CVD risk score at baseline
  4. OR adjusted odds ratio, 95 % CI 95 % confidence interval, CHD coronary heart disease, CVD cardiovascular disease
