a

OR and 95% CI estimated by conditional logistic regression; cases and controls matched on sex, birthdate (± 1 year), ethnicity (white, Japanese American, Latino, African American, or Native Hawaiian), location (California or Hawaii), date of blood draw (within ±1 year), time of day of blood draw, and fasting hours prior to blood draw (0–<6, 6–<8, 8–<10, or ≥10). Missing data for leptin (1) and CRP (3).

b

p for trend based on the Wald χ2 test of a log-transformed continuous variable.

c

N=642 (219 cases and 423 controls)

d

Composite score from principal components analysis of log-transformed IL-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α.
