The ORs calculated for UGT1A and meat groups were adjusted for age, race, sex, total meat, energy-adjusted fat intake, dietary fiber intake, total energy, and offsets. The ORs calculated for UGT1A and heterocyclic amines (DiMeIQx , MeIQx and PhIP) were adjusted for all heterocyclic amines as well as age, race, sex, energy-adjusted fat intake, dietary fiber intake, total energy, and offsets. The ORs calculated for BaP were adjusted for age, race, sex, energy-adjusted fat intake, dietary fiber intake, total energy, and offsets. Variable cut points are median values based on the distribution among controls.
