  1. Logistic regression with adjusted for all variables, CI: confidence interval
  2. MEG: ‘more exposed group’ who lived within the 1 km radius of the cement plant
  3. LEG: ‘less exposed group’ who lived 5 km or more away from the cement plant in not related to usually wind direction
  4. Age and Residency period: years, Body mass index (BMI); kg/m2, Smoking: pack-years, Income: ten thousand won (Korea)/month
  5. Chest films; Chest PA and Lateral view, HRCT; High-resolution computed tomography
