α-tocopherol	−19.6 [−0.7, −39.9] (0.05)	−17.9 [−39.8, 3.9] (0.1)	−8.4 [−27.1, 10.4] (0.4)	−2.3 [−21.3, 16.7] (0.8)
γ-tocopherol	−6.3 [−56.6, 44.0] (0.8)	−1.5 [−88.6, 85.7] (0.9)	−15.6 [−60.0, 28.7] (0.5)	−23.3 [−62.6, 15.9] (0.2)
Time-varying Vitamin E
α-tocopherol	−18.7 [−0.3, −37.9] (0.05)	−0.1 [−10.7, 10.4] (0.9)	−0.2 [−8.1, 7.8] (0.9)	−1.2 [−10.8, 8.4] (0.8)
