Confounders were age and gender. Hazard ratios (HR) were weighted to make the sample representative for the original GLOBE respondents. Material factors: health insurance, housing tenure, financial deprivation; behavioural factors: smoking, physical activity; psychosocial factors: life events, locus of control. *Changes in hazard ratio were calculated by: 100×[(HR(+confounders)−HR(+explanatory factors))/(HR(+confounders)−1)].
