  1. RC regression coefficient.
  2. SBP mean adult SBP in 2002.
  3. OB adults (≥ 15 years) who are obese (%) in the latest available year.
  4. HPT the latest available hypertension prevalence.
  5. SMK the latest available adult smoking prevalence.
  6. SF saturated fat (/capita/year (kg)) intake in 1999.
  7. ALC per capita alcohol consumption (> 15 years) (in litres of pure alcohol) in 2000–2001.
  8. * Per 100,000 per year (Ln).
  9. ** Adjusted model: each adjustment only adjusted for one confounding variable.
