Model 1 adjusted for age (continuous) and area of residence (categories) in addition to sex in the combined analysis.

Model 2 adjusted further for alcohol intake (current, ex or never drinker), BMI (<18, 18 to <25, or ≥25 kg/m2), family history of cancer (with or without family history), mental stress (high or relatively high, normal, or low), smoking status (current, former, or never smoker), sports hours (never, 1–2 hours per week, 3–4 hours per week, ≥5 hours per week), walking hours (never, <30 min per day, 30–60 min per day, or >60 min per day), educational years (<18 or ≥19 years).

Model 3 adjusted further for quartiles of energy (categories), quartiles of energy-adjusted vitamin A, vitamin C, and β-cryptoxanthin intakes (categories).
