NOTE. Adjusted for age, sex, race, education, body mass index, cohort, time from baseline to first cancer, and follow-up time. Excludes Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention study, as this cohort was limited to current smokers.

Abbreviations: cig/d, cigarettes per day; HR, hazard ratio.

*

Cigarettes per day was collected as a categorical variable in National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study; Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial; and Agricultural Health Study. The maximum number of cigarettes smoked per day in the Iowa Women's Health Study was as follows: lung (stage I): 60; bladder: 40; kidney: 40; head and neck: 40.

P trends across joint categories of smoking status and intensity categories were estimated by including the categorical exposure variable in the model as a continuous variable.
