PPACTE, 2010.
*ORs were estimated using multilevel logistic regression models, after adjustment for sex, age, level of education, and smoking status, and considering country as random effect in order to take into account clustering within countries. Estimates were weighted for statistical weights that consider country-specific adult population.
