a

Cases and controls were matched on age at randomization, serum and whole blood draw dates, pack-years, ATBC treatment group, and follow-up time.

b

Occupations include: mining, colliery (coal mining), quarrying, stonemasonry, stonecutting, foundry work, asbestos quarrying, asbestos fabric manufacture, asbestos concrete manufacture, asbestos insulating, lead refining, nickel refining, copper smelting, steel production/ refining, oil refining, gas manufacture, chromium paint manufacture, and arsenic production. P-trend based on the total number of high risk occupations.

c

Only one set of controls had vitamin D serum measurements.
