aSixteen SNPs were used to construct the score, including rs6691170, rs6687758, rs10936599, rs7758229, rs16892766, rs10505477, rs10795668, rs3802842, rs7136702, rs4444235, rs4779584, rs9929218, rs4939827, rs10411210, rs961253 and rs4925386. Results were adjusted for age (except for the analysis stratified by age), sex, body mass index, cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking.
