Participants were included if they were free of CVD at baseline for CVD outcomes. The analyses were adjusted for age, sex, deprivation index, income, professional qualifications, smoking, red meat intake, processed meat intake, oily fish intake, fruit and vegetable intake, the frequency of alcohol intake, sedentary time, total physical activity, sleep duration and body mass index.
CVD, cardiovascular disease.
