n = Number of deaths in the cohort between 1972/1977 and 1995. CVD = cardiovascular diseases. Models 1 to 3 were adjusted for age (continuous variable) and survey year and, furthermore, models 2 and 3 for myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, angina pectoris, bronchial asthma, emphysema/bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis, smoking, serum total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, and leisure time physical activity and, furthermore, model 3 for education. Models 4 to 7 were adjusted for age (continuous variable) and survey year and, furthermore, models 5 to 7 for myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and angina pectoris and, furthermore, models 6 and 7 for smoking, serum total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, and leisure time physical activity and, furthermore, model 7 for education. Models 8 and 9 were adjusted for age (continuous variable) and survey year and, furthermore, model 9 for education.
