* Caffeine metabolites indices were the ratios of caffeine metabolites to caffeine intake, including creatine adjusted paraxanthine/caffeine intake and creatinine adjusted 1-methyluric acid/caffeine intake; indices were log transformed. List of abbreviations: 1-MUA: 1-methyluric acid. Bolded p for trend values indicate significance using a significance level of 0.05.
