§Conditional logistic regression models.

^As several variables were included in each level, only those variables reaching p < 0.1 were kept in the next step, in order to avoid unstable estimates in subsequent models.

*Reference: Less than 65 yrs.

**Reference: NO.

#Reference: More than 2 glasses of wine or more than one glass of spirits a day.

°Except Gastric ulcer.

The statistical significant p values are reported in bold.
