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

For Smoking History, this number represents the overall test of significance

NA=could not be calculated

Occasional smokers are not included in the number of years smoked, pack years or years since quitting analyses
