aHR: adjusted for age, gender, education, job, marital status, BMI, NCD_history, smoking, alcohol consumption and exercise.
HR_1year: aHR after excluding subjects who died within 1-year follow-up time.
HR_2years: aHR after excluding subjects who died within 2-year follow-up time.
aHR, adjusted hazard ratio; BMI, body mass index; E, number of death; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C reactive protein; MR, mortality rate (10 000 person-years); NCD_history, non-communicable disease history; Ref, reference.
