No current SHS exposure that has been not exposed to home SHS | 1861/38,147 (4.9) | 1 | 1 |
No current SHS exposure that has been exposed to home SHS b | 2340/44,477 (5.3) | 1.13 (1.05, 1.21) | 1.07 (0.99, 1.14) |
Current SHS exposure only at the workplace b | 465/6678 (7.0) | 1.19 (1.07, 1.33) | 1.15 (1.02, 1.29) |
Current SHS exposure that has been exposed to home SHS b | 1057/16,115 (6.6) | 1.37 (1.27, 1.49) | 1.22 (1.11, 1.33) |
a Values are expressed as n/N (%), where n is number of cases with a given variable and N is total number considered for that variable. b Reference group is group without current SHS exposure that has been not exposed to home SHS. Multivariate model was adjusted for age, sex, waist circumference, body mass index, frequency of alcohol drinking, frequency of vigorous exercise, glucose, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
