	Unadjusted; OR (95% CI)	𝑃-value	Adjusted; OR (95% CI)*	𝑃-value
Age	1.06 (1.01–1.11)	0.030	1.05 (1.00–1.11)	0.044
Weight	0.93 (0.90–0.98)	0.002	0.95 (0.91–0.99)	0.019
Current smoker	2.52 (1.20–5.29)	0.014	3.04 (1.35–6.82)	0.007
Heavy alcohol consumption^†	0.83 (0.40–1.71)	0.610	0.80 (0.36–1.76)	0.570
Exercise^‡	1.03 (0.46–2.31)	0.941	1.00 (0.43–2.31)	0.999

OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.
∗Adjusted for age, weight, current smoker, heavy alcohol consumption, and exercise except where variable itself is being examined.
†Consuming two or more bottles of alcohol per week.
‡Exercise of any kind for any duration on a regular basis.
