Cohort 1 is matched on age and sex; cohort 2 on age, sex and region of residence; and cohort 3 on age, sex, region of residence and median neighbourhood income quintile. Cohort 3 also excludes civilians with a history of long-term care/rehabilitation stay and/or receipt of disability/income support payments.
Fully adjusted models included age, sex, region of residence, median neighbourhood income quintile, rurality and number of major and minor aggregated diagnosis groups.
HR1, HR for first 3 years of follow-up; HR2, HR for years 4 and 5; overall HR, average HR over the full period of follow-up (ie, not time-dependent).
