Data are
weighted percentages; Current smokers are those who have smoked at least 100
cigarettes during their lifetime; Educational level was defined by years of
schooling; Body mass index (BMI) was calculated by self-reported weight divided
by self-reported height in meters squared (kg/m2), participants were
categorized into overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese ( ≥
30.0 kg/m2); Hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia:
self-reported history of these conditions; Myocardial infarction and stroke:
self-reported history of these conditions; CVD: Cardiovascular Disease
