  1. 1. Risk factors are current smoker, risky alcohol drinking, BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, physically inactive, and poor diet
  2. RRR = relative risk ratios; CI = Confidence Interval; * = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01; *** = p < 0.001; n/s = not significant
  3. †. Reference category; Note: N may not add up to sample size (6,574) for some variables due to unanswered questions
