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). Data were missing for leptin (1).

b

pinteraction based on the Wald χ2 test of the cross-product terms between log-transformed continuous serum measure and continuous BMI.

c

prend based on the Wald χ2 test of a log-transformed continuous variable.
