Association of the duration of sauna bathing with cardiovascular mortality in clinically relevant subgroups. CHD, coronary heart disease; CI, confidence interval; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HR, hazard ratio; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; PA, physical activity. HRs are adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, smoking, systolic blood pressure, serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alcohol consumption, previous myocardial infarction, and type 2 diabetes. Hazard ratios are reported comparing > 45 min of sauna bathing per week with ≤ 15 min of sauna bathing per week. * P-value for meta-regression
