* CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio. Note: assigned “the score of knowledge ≥ 5.4” to 1, others to 0; Assigned “age ≥ 40” to 0 (control group), “18–29” = 1, “30–39” = 2; Assigned “parents educational level ≤ Junior high school” to 0(control group), “High school and College” = 1, “≥Undergraduate school” = 2; Assigned “income<RMB 20,000” to 0(control group), “RMB 20,000–50,000” = 1, “RMB 50,000–100,000” = 2, “>RMB 100,000” = 3; Assigned “Ill” to 0(control group), “Healthy” = 1, “Fair” = 2.
