Questionnaire physiological measurements were obtained. odds ratios grades estimated using ordinal logistic regression. Study participant’s mean 45 years, ranging from 87. After adjustment known factors, demographic such as increasing (aOR = 1.19, 95% CI 1.18–1.20), living an urban area 1.31, 1.12–1.55) lifestyle including being a smoker 1.32, 1.09–1.61), having higher body mass index 1.04, 1.02–1.06) levels sun exposure time 1.03, 1.00–1.06) significantly grades.
