  1. a Models were adjusted for age, ethnicity, education, marital status, body mass index, fruits and vegetables (servings/day), physical activity (MET/wk), smoking history (pack-years), alcohol consumption status, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), medication for hypertension or cholesterol, and diabetes, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (asthma and emphysema), arthritis, cancer at baseline, mental component summary (when physical component summary was the exposure), and physical component summary (when mental component summary was the exposure).
  2. b Also adjusted for CVD at baseline in addition to the variables mentioned above.
