IR incidence rate, HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval.
aIncidence rates are provided per 1000 person-years.
bCox proportional hazards regression adjusted for age, sex, education, Townsend deprivation index, income, BMI, diet, physical activity, alcohol consumption, occupational exposure, passive smoking, relatedness, and first 20 principal components of ancestry. P value for trend calculated treating each smoking category as continuous variables.
