Abbreviations: NA, not applicable; OR, odds ratio.

a

Adjusted models are adjusted for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, lung cancer, Crohn disease, and ulcerative colitis.

b

Individuals in these categories are included in the more than 10 years category.

c

Stratified results for more than 10 to 15 years and more than 15 years are not shown because numbers and results are suppressed for cells where small counts would enable calculation of numbers less than 5.
