Note: Urinary arsenic was defined as the sum of inorganic arsenic (iAs), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) measurements, with GMs reported. —, Not applicable; CI, confidence interval; DMA%, percentage dimethylated arsenic; GM, geometric mean; iAs%, percentage inorganic arsenic species; MD, mean difference; %, percentages of species over the sum of inorganic and methylated arsenic species; MMA%, percentage of monomethylated arsenic.

Adjusted for sociodemographic factors (sex and age) and lifestyle factors (ever smoking and baseline BMI). Urinary arsenic was log-transformed for analysis. Regression analyses were performed using generalized estimating equations to account for clustering at the household level using an exchangeable correlation. Participants without urinary arsenic data were excluded.
