Correlation of tobacco use variables between cases and controls. DNA methylation age acceleration estimates (y-axis) are depicted for specific tobacco use variables, including total pack years, total number of years smoking, and cigarettes per day. ac Analyses for these variables using the combination of both study cohorts. df The same specific variable analyses for the control cohort. gi Analyses for the cancer cohort. There is a statistically significant positive correlation between the tobacco variables and the complete cohort, and in the control cases. Though a positive correlation is noted in breast cancer cases as well, it did not reach a statistical significance
