It's paywalled and sci-hub doesn't have it.

There's something very weird about the numbers:

34,893 men and 46,440 women ... 2783 deaths (1838 men and 945 women)

30% more women in the study but only half as many deaths? That doesn't make any sense. There's something very wrong with the sample or the follow-up or both.
