	Excluding participants	Number of cases	Person-years	Adjusted HR (95%CI)*
Primary analysis	0	1632	866776.8	0.85 (0.73,0.98)
Excluding participants with extreme energy intake	1414	1594	854674.8	0.86 (0.74,0.99)
Excluding participants with extreme BMI	1930	1600	850434.9	0.85 (0.73,0.98)
Excluding participants with diabetes	6568	1519	812654.8	0.85 (0.74,0.99)
Excluding participants with a follow-up less than 2 years	1608	1336	865107.1	0.84 (0.72,0.99)

*Adjusted for age (continuous), sex (male or female), BMI (continuous), total energy intake (continuous), family history of lung cancer (yes, no, or possible), marital status (married or not married), race/ethnicity (white or non-white), smoking status (never, former smoker, current smoker), pack-years of cigarettes (continuous), alcohol intake (never, former, current, or unknown), history of diabetes (yes vs. no). Note: extreme energy intake was defined as >4000 kcal/day or <500 kcal/day; extreme BMI was defined as top 1% or bottom 1% in the included population.
