These were calculated using jackknife replication.
Odds ratios were adjusted for the other characteristics shown in this table.
Those identifying as Alaska Native/American Indian, Pacific Islander, or of multiple races were combined into an “other” race category owing to low cell counts.
Participants who reported of being employed full or part time were categorized as “employed.” Participants who were retired, disabled, students, homemakers, or other were categorized as “not employed.” n = 121 participants were missing responses for employment.
n =377 participants were missing responses for income, and 109 were missing responses for family history of cancer.”
The “other” category included participants who were widowed, divorced, or separated.
