“…Smoking was categorized as current, past (if smoked ≥100 cigarettes in one's life but not a current smoker), or never (if smoked <100 cigarettes in one's life) [ 10 ]. Educational attainment was categorized as <high school, high school, and college; income as <$20,000, $20,000–44,999, and ≥$45,000; and alcohol intake as 0, <3, and ≥3 drinks per day [ 23 ]. For leisure-time physical activity (PA), the metabolic equivalent (MET) scores provided by NHANES were used to calculate MET min/week, which were then categorized as no reported PA data, low PA (1 to 499 MET min/week), and guideline adherence (≥500 MET min/week) [ 10 , 24 ].…”
