Values for each characteristic are presented as numbers or weighted proportion and standard errors. PA, physical activity; FPL, Federal Poverty Level; K-6, Kessler 6; BMI, body mass index. aFor the lung cancer model, binary measure of the US-born/foreign-born variable was used and alcohol consumption was excluded.
