  1. The values for smoking- and alcohol habits are based on the month prior to the completion of the study questionnaires. OR = Odds ratio, CI = confidence interval, MC1 = persistent, primary microscopic colitis, MC2 = transient microscopic colitis. Calculations of smoking habits in MC1 were adjusted for age, physical activity, days of drinking wine/month, level of education, and employment, whereas calculations in MC2 were adjusted for age, physical activity, days of drinking wine/month and employment. Calculations of smoking- and alcohol habits were adjusted for age, physical activity, level of education, and employment in MC1 and age, physical activity, and employment in MC2.
