Nicotine equivalents is the sum of urinary total nicotine, total cotinine, and total trans-3′-hydroxycotinine in nmol/mL.
Medians were based on all participants, and median values are 0.73 and 1.27 for nicotine metabolite ratio and caffeine metabolite ratio, respectively.
Further adjusted for race.
Further adjusted for cigarettes per day and calorie-adjusted caffeine intake by multiple covariance analysis.
P-values were obtained in a model comparing nicotine equivalents as a continuous variable (with the independent variables described in the table) between low and high nicotine metabolite ratio or caffeine metabolite ratio, for each subgroup analysis.
