†: Adjusted for age in years; education (up to 15 years of age, 16-18, or 19 years or older); marital status at baseline (whether or not living with spouse); past histories of hypertension, renal diseases, liver diseases, diabetes mellitus, peptic ulcers, or tuberculosis; cigarette smoking (never smokers, past smokers, current smokers smoking 1-19 cigarettes per day, or current smokers smoking at least 20 cigarettes per day); alcohol drinking (never drinkers, past drinkers, or current drinkers); body mass index in kg/m2 (less than 18.5, 18.5-24.9, or 25.0 or higher); consumption frequencies of green vegetables and oranges (almost daily, 3-4 times per week, 1-2 times per week, or 1-2 times per month or less often). RR2 has been estimated with the exclusion of subjects who died within the first 3 years of follow-up. Numbers in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals.
