Interaction effects on the additive scale were assessed by combining dichotomous variables for smoking (nonsmoker\u2009=\u20090, smoker\u2009=\u20091) and obesity (nonobese\u2009=\u20090, obese\u2009=\u20091), yielding four categories: 0\/0 (reference category), 0\/1, 1\/0, and 1\/1.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
