Model 1: simple linear regression; Model 2: after adjusting for age and sex; Model 3: after adjusting for age, sex, and smoking status; Model 4: after adjusting for age, sex, smoking status, obesity, education, and place of residence; OR—odds ratio; CI—confidence interval; AUC—area under the curve.
