Bold values indicate a significant association between the independent variable and the dependent variable, compared with the reference category (p < 0.05).

a

Adjusted odds ratios and 95% CIs obtained from country-specific individual-level multiple logistic regression models adjusted for age, gender, place of residence, education, occupation, current smoking, current smokeless tobacco use and number of household members. A country-specific region variable was also included in the models for India, Thailand, China, Brazil, Poland and Ukraine (not shown in the table to maintain uniformity as regions varied by country).

b

Region variable was excluded from the country-specific regression model in Egypt due to collinearity (VIF > 13).
