For all continuous variables, the mean values ± SD were listed, and the k-sample equality of medians was used to ascertain the P values. For all categorical variables, the No. (%) are listed and a Wilcoxon test of trend was used to ascertain the P values. ADI = area deprivation index.

a

ADI was categorized into percentiles of census block group disadvantage; lowest group is the most affluent 50% of census blocks, and the highest group is the most disadvantaged 10% of census blocks.

b

Hispanic ethnicity was combined with race as one variable due to the negligibly small number of individuals who identify as non-white Hispanic.

c

Family history of lung cancer was modeled on an ordinal scale: 0, 1, and ≥ 2.

d

Diagnosis of COPD (yes vs no) and personal history of cancer (yes vs no).
