  1. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate HR and 95% CI
  2. Model 1 was unadjusted, Model 2 was adjusted for age, race, and gender, and Model 3 was adjusted for age, gender, race, education level, family income-poverty ratio, marital status, physical inactivity, body mass index, nicotine exposure, and alcohol use
