  1. HR was calculated with the Cox proportional hazard regression model
  2. Unadjusted model: No adjustments made
  3. Full model: Adjusted for age (quartiles of age), BMI (≤ 25 kg/m2, > 25 kg/m2), and smoking (current, ex or never)
  4. Values are quartile ranges, hazard ratios (HR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI)
