  2. Lifestyle factors: physical activity level, television viewing, dietary intake of fruit and vegetable, red meat, processed meat, oily fish, smoking status, and alcohol drinking; adiposity: body mass index and waist-hip ratio; physical factors: grip strength and systolic blood pressure; serum-based biomarkers: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycated haemoglobin, cystatin C, and gamma-glutamyl transferase
  3. CVD cardiovascular disease, HR hazard ratio, %RD percentage risk difference
