Multiple imputation by chained equations was performed using age, gender, education, wealth index, BMI, SRH, illness during preceding year, smoking history, alcohol consumption, walking time, and residential area. Model 1 was adjusted for age and gender. Model 2 was adjusted for education and wealth index in addition to Model 1. Model 3 was adjusted for BMI, SRH, illness during preceding year, smoking history, alcohol consumption, and walking time in addition to Model 2. Model 4 was adjusted for residential area in addition to Model 3
