OR, odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.

Body Mass Index calculated as weight in kilogram/height in meter square.

a

Logistic regression controlling for age (in years), smoking (never smoker, former smoker, current smoker), education of the participant (college or university level education, secondary school, primary school and no schooling), physical activity level during leisure time (sedentary to mild versus moderate to strenuous), physical activity level during work time (sedentary to mild versus moderate to strenuous) and residence (urban versus rural).

b

Additional adjustment for history of diabetes mellitus and history of hypertension.
