Differences in median age at death at 18 years of follow-up for four risk profile groups, in entire population and in strata by sex, age groups, and health status
| Variables | High risk profile (n=30) | Differences (95% CI) in median age at death (years)* | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moderately high risk profile (n=182) | Moderately low risk profile (n=281) | Low risk profile (n=48) | ||
| Entire population | Reference | 2.1 (1.1 to 3.1)† | 3.6 (2.6 to 4.6)† | 5.4 (3.0 to 7.8)† |
| Stratified by sex: | ||||
| Women | Reference | 2.0 (0.8 to 3.2)† | 3.3 (2.1 to 4.5)† | 5.3 (3.1 to 7.6)† |
| Men | Reference | 2.4 (0.7 to 4.0)† | 3.6 (2.1 to 5.1)† | 6.3 (−1.4 to 14.0) |
| Stratified by age (years): | ||||
| 75-84 | Reference | 2.2 (0.8 to 3.5)† | 3.5 (2.2 to 4.8)† | 6.1 (4.1 to 8.1)† |
| ≥85 | Reference | 0.9 (−0.5 to 2.2) | 3.0 (1.4 to 4.5)† | 4.0 (0.8 to 7.2)† |
| Stratified by No of chronic conditions‡: | ||||
| 0 | Reference | 1.0 (−1.0 to 3.1) | 1.0 (−1.1 to 3.2) | 3.0 (0.7 to 5.4)† |

Low risk profile=healthy lifestyle behaviours, participation in at least one leisure activity, and a rich or moderate social network; high risk profile=unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, no participation in leisure activities, and a limited or poor social network.
