Model adjusted for: age (years), BMI (categories: <18.5; 18.5–24.9; 25–29.9; ≥30 kg/m2), socioeconomic status (low, average, high), the occurrence of lung cancer among a relative (yes, no, I do not know), occupational exposure in the workplace (yes, no); vitamin/mineral supplement use (yes, no); p-Value—the level of statistical significance verified with Wald’s test.
