Odds ratios and P values were estimated by using logistic regression analyses adjusted by age, BMI, and smoking history (ever smoking or not). In men, model 1 is adjusted for smoking status, CAT score, hand grip strength, Sit to stand test and all types of passive smoking, while model 2 is adjusted for present and previous passive smoking at home instead of all types of passive smoking.
