a“None” group was set as the reference in each type analysis. Controlled covariates included age, gender, marital status, hukou status, education levels, rural/urban residence, public health insurance coverage, current work status, alcohol intake, smoking status and household per capita consumption

bThe intensity of each SP type was set as time-variant exposure. None” group was set as the reference. Age, marital status, hukou status, public health insurance coverage, current work status, alcohol intake, smoking status and household per capita consumption were controlled as time-variant covariates, and gender, education level and rural/urban residence were controlled as fixed covariates
