  1. aPercentages are weighted.
  2. bAdjusted for study center (Detroit or Chicago), age (20-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 75+ years), sex (male, female), education (<12 years, high school, some college, 4+ years of college), smoking status (never, occasional, former, current), and history of cancer among first-degree relatives (none, cancer other than kidney cancer, kidney cancer, unknown).
  3. cNumeric scores were assigned to each category of physical activities (Transportation and leisure activities: 1, 2, and 3 for <1, 1-7 and >7 hr/wk, respectively; work activity: 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 for none, <1, 1-10, 11-20 and >20 hr/wk, respectively). Total scores were calculated by combining all the activity scores of each person at different age periods.
  4. In these analysis, we excluded people with missing information on specific types of physical activity (transportation: N = 15 for age 20’s and N = 8 for age 50’s; leisure-time: N = 9 for age 20’s and N = 8 for age 50’s; work: N = 7 for age 20’s and N = 4 for age 50’s). Additionally, participants who did not work either full-time or part time were also excluded from the analysis of work activity (N = 191 for age 20’s and 181 for age 50’s).
