Model 1: age and sex; Model 2: age, sex, education, income, and smoking; Model 3: age, sex, education, income, smoking, and BMI.
LSM, least squares mean; SEM, standard error of the mean; CI, confidence interval.
Values in the same row (within an analysis) denoted with the same letter are not significantly different from each other (Tukey’s HSD P < 0.05).
