  • *Adjustment factors: age, length of education, diabetes, previous myocardial infarction, previous stroke; exposure factors: smoking (current, previous, never), combined activity of light and hard intensity (9 categories).

  • AF, all factors; CV, cardiovascular; ROC, receiver operating characteristics.
