Table 4.

Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease based on smoking habit change among patients who were nonsmokers before diabetes diagnosis.

All Patients All-cause mortality Cardiovascular diseases
N % N aHRa 95% CI P for trend N aHRa 95% CI P for trend
Never smoker 5,341 46.35 235 1.00 0.77 303 1.00 0.16
Ex-smoker 5,274 45.77 162 1.05 0.86–1.29 216 1.06 0.88–1.27

N, number of patients; aHR, adjusted hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.

aMultivariate-adjusted model was adjusted for age, income status, Charlson comorbidity index score, alcohol consumption, physical activity, smoking status, BMI, blood pressure, and fasting serum glucose and cholesterol levels.
