a

OR and 95% CI estimated by unconditional logistic regression adjusted for age.

b

One-sided p-values for the slope parameter in the quantitative analyses with the density of vines within 1,000m.

c

At least one plot identified by RPG, VV, or CLC with a crop different from viticulture.

d

The presence of viticulture was considered “possible” if at least one vine plot was identified by CLC, but no vine plot was identified with RPG or VV.

e

The presence of viticulture was considered “probable” if at least one vine plot was identified by RPG or VV.

f

OR associated with a 10% increase in viticulture density within 1,000m.

g

OR associated with an increase equal to 10% of the maximum weighted density.
