  1. *Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to estimate relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI)
  2. Model 1: Adjusted for age and sex
  3. Model 2: Additionally adjusted for body mass index, physical activity, smoking (yes or no), daily energy intake, diabetes, and hypertension
