Ref.—reference category; Polish-aMEDscore—Polish-adapted Mediterranean diet score (range of points: 0–9); p—the level of significance assessed by Wald’s test; model adjusted for: age (categories), BMI (categories), current smoking status (never smokers, current smokers, former smokers), socioeconomic status (low, average, high), overall physical activity (low, moderate, high), the occurrence of lung cancer in relatives (yes, no, I do not know), and occupational exposure in the workplace (yes, no); reference category in the PCA: controls.
