*

Adjusted for age, study site, gender, BMI, education, family history of kidney cancer in a first degree relative and hypertension (years since quitting also adjusted for pack years)

Occasional smokers are not included: 34 white cases, 21 black cases, 25 white controls, 30 black controls

Age at smoking initiation and years since quitting do not include nonsmokers

§

Missing data: Number of years smoked: 1 white case, 2 black cases, 3 black controls Number of cigarettes per day: 2 white controls, 1 black case, 1 black control Pack years could not be calculated for these 9 individuals (one person missing both variables) Years Since Quitting: 1 black case and 2 black controls
