Fig. 3

Restricted cubic spline model of the hazard ratios of cardiovascular mortality with the frequency of sauna bathing. Restricted cubic spline functions were analyzed with knots located at 5th, 35th, 65th, and 95th percentiles of sauna bathing frequency distribution, with the reference category set at one session/week; adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, smoking, systolic blood pressure, serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alcohol consumption, previous myocardial infarction, and type 2 diabetes. The dashed lines represent the 95% confidence intervals
