*:Adjusted OR and 95%CI were calculated by adjusting for the potential confounders, including age, occupation, education, annual income, BMI, passive smoking, exposure to pesticide, chronic disease, use of folic acid supplements.

#: The conditional logistic regression model was used to calculate the parameters.
