a The results were represented as estimated Odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI).

b P-values for trend were derived from binary logistic regression model analysis.

c Model 1: adjusted for age.

d Model 2: adjusted for age and tobacco usage.

e Model 3: adjusted for age, tobacco usage, and BMI.* P < 0.05.
