Note: B, coefficient; S.E, standard Error. Model 1: crude model of BOC and BRC (total: R = 0.111; rural area: R = 0.110; urban area: R = 0.164; 0 < p < 0.05). Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, educational level, family per capita annual income (RMB) and current occupation (total: R = 0.183; rural area: R = 0.192; urban area: R = 0.254; 0 < p < 0.05). Model 3: adjusted for smoking, drinking, sleep problems and number of chronic diseases (total: R = 0.171; rural area: R = 0.153; urban area: R = 0.246; 0 < p < 0.05). Model 4: adjusted for age, sex, educational level, family per capita annual income (RMB), current occupation, smoking, drinking, sleep problems and number of chronic diseases (total: R = 0.230; rural area: R = 0.236; urban area: R = 0.354; 0 < p < 0.05).
