Hazard ratios refer to NMSC status (vs controls), adjusted for age at reference date, sex and smoking.

1

The melanoma models for BCC are adjusted for age at reference date, sex, smoking, skin reaction to chronic sun exposure and family history of NMSC.

2

The melanoma models for SCC are adjusted for age at reference date, sex, smoking, skin reaction to chronic sun exposure.

Stratified models are similarly adjusted except for the stratification variable.
