*

Adjusted for gender, ethnicity, age, and agrochemical exposure

c

Number of cases and controls in these categories are less than the total number for the study due to exclusion of subjects younger than the age cut-points

+

OR calculated for mildly obese and moderately/severely obese combined due to small number of individuals in these categories
