Data are presented as medians (25th, 75th) in continuous variables and as n (%) in categorical variables. DII, dietary inflammatory index; CIN, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia; BMI, body-mass index; CX CAN, cervical cancer. a p values were calculated by Jonckheere–Terpstra test for continuous variables and Mantel–Haenszel test for categorical variables. b What is the average monthly household income (total income of all living together, including yourself)? c Did you have any intense physical activity such as walking, jogging or running during the last 7 days?
