.
The researchers estimated adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) for thyroid cancer risk using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for age, sex, regular exercise, monthly income, body mass index, diabetes , and dyslipidemia

During a mean follow-up period of 8.

57 years, of 9,699,104 participants, 89,527 (0.

Compared with never smokers, current smokers had a lower risk of developing thyroid cancer [aHR 0.
