OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
1)Unadjusted = crude odds ratios are calculated from logistic regression models; 2)Fully adj = multivariable adjusted odds ratios are from logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, BMI, education, family income, marital status, and smoking.
***P < 0.001.
