A participant was determined to be a current smoker if they answered “yes” to the question “Have you smoked cigarettes regularly in the last year?” A measure of physical activity known as the physical activity index was calculated from self-report of responses to questions recording the typical number of hours of sleep and light, moderate, and heavy physical activity, and type of physical activity per day (previously described in Kannel WB 1979).
