Distribution of socio-demographic, behavioural and clinical risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD outcomes by self-rated health (SRH) score in 9,087 men and 11,827 women aged 39–79 years without prevalent CVD in EPIC-Norfolk (1992–2007).

Survival curve for the hospitalisation and mortality from ischemic heart disease or stroke by self-rated health (SRH) score in 7,279 men and 9,285 women aged 39–79 without previous cardiovascular disease in EPIC-Norfolk (1992–2007), fully adjusted for sociodemographic variables (age, sex and education), behavioural risk factors (smoking, alcohol use, vitamin C intake and physical activity) and clinical risk factors (total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, BMI, history of diabetes and family history of myocardial infarction or stroke).
