  • Model 1. Unadjusted.

  • Model 2. Adjusted for socio/material background factors (birth year, region, parents SEI, household crowding).

  • Model 3. Adjusted for 2+ characteristics in adolescence (cognition, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, CVD diagnosis at conscription).

  • Model 4. Adjusted for 2+3+physical fitness in adolescence (physical working capacity and BMI).

  • CVD, cardiovascular disease; SEI, socioeconomic index.
