OR (95% CI) adjusted for age, sex, and NAT1 genotype (rapid versus others). Smoking pack-year (light versus heavy) was additionally adjusted for ever smokers. Smoking pack-year (never, light, and heavy) was additionally adjusted for all participants.

P value for the trend test. Score test was used to test the linear trend by treating interaction term as the continuous variable.

P value for the likelihood ratio test.
