a

Obtained in logistic dominant models with adjustment for age, smoking status and BMI.

b

P for homogeneity test using the χ2-based Q test.

c

Test for multiplicative interaction obtained from logistic regression models with adjustment for age, smoking status and BMI.

CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index.

The results were in bold, if P<0.05.
