Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; NA, not available; OR, odds ratio.
Odds ratios were estimated using unconditional multiple logistic regression models after adjustment for sex (men or women), age (<35, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, or ≥75 years), education (<10, 10-15, or ≥16 years), smoking status (never, former, or current smoker), ever use of marijuana (yes, no, or missing data), frequency of binge drinking (5 categories), consumption of alcohol (5 categories), self-reported health status (very good, good, fair, bad, or very bad), anxiety (yes or no), headache or migraine (yes or no), continuous tiredness (yes or no), difficulty sleeping (yes or no), self-reported diagnosis of depression (yes or no), and hearing ability (no problems without hearing aid, no problems with hearing aid, or major difficulties).
