a The frequency of each type of SP 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 residence were controlled as fixed covariates

b All the covariates were controlled except for gender

c All the covariates were controlled except for rural/urban residence
