All presented estimates come from models adjusted for age at cohort entry, sex, cigarette smoking status and intensity, alcohol use, education, fruit intake, vegetable intake, BMI, total energy intake, and both vigorous physical activity and usual physical activity throughout the day.
*Adjusted for sex, age, religion (4 levels), income (4 levels), background, education, alcohol intake of friends and parents, khat and cigarette intake.
Control variables: sex, age, diseases, marital status, level of education, alcohol intake, smoking habit, illegal drug use.
Higher education, higher intake of fruits/vegetables, and receipt of chemotherapy were associated with initiation (p-values <0.05).
Confounders, such as the number of years in formal education, alcohol intake, smoking history status, and betel-nut chewing were adjusted for.
Baseline characteristics for men with and without NSMC were similar in mean age (73.4 ± 5.5 years), BMI, smoking, education, calcium intake, and in their general health (Table 1).
Model 3 (each protein considered as continuous): stratified by case-set, adjusted by smoking, waistline, education, daily intake of fruit, vegetables, red meat, and alcohol.
This negative association of cannabis use and BMI remained even after adjustment for potential confounders such as age, sex, education, caloric intake, tobacco smoking, and alcohol use.
Model 3 (each protein considered as continuous): adjusted by age, smoking, waistline, education, daily intake of fruit, vegetables, red meat, and alcohol.
