Note: Supremum test = test based on the maximum absolute value. 1st-difference test = test for structural relationships based on maximum absolute 1st difference.
The multiple regression model was adjusted for gender.
The multiple regression model was adjusted for age and hair dye use.
The multiple regression model was adjusted for age and gender.
Restricted to ever-smokers.
Median = 6.5 alcoholic drinks per week among drinkers.
Measured in toenail clippings.
