Abbrev: DLBCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; BMI, body mass index; CRP, C-reactive protein IFN, Interferon; IL, Interleukin; TNF, Tumor neurosis factor.

a

OR and 95% CI estimated by conditional logistic regression; cases and controls matched on sex, birthdate (± 1 year), ethnicity, 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).

b

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

c

N=198 (66 cases and 132 controls) for DLBCL and N=97 (33 cases and 64 controls) for follicular lymphoma

d

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