  1. All models were adjusted by age, gender, race/ethnicity, poverty income ratio, cotinine, BMI, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes (poverty income ratio: Q1: ≤ 1, Q2: > 1; cotinine: Q1: ≤ 0.01, Q2: 0.01–10, Q3: > 10; BMI: Q1: < 25; Q2: 25–30; Q3: > 30)
  2. aUrinary nitrate was divided to four levels by quartile (Q1: ≤ 26,100; Q2: 26,100–45,000; Q3: 45,000–70,600; Q4: > 70,600)
