*Relative Risk adjusted for age, sex, education (in or no training, vocational training, technical school, or technical college or university degree), occupational activity (light, moderate, heavy), sport activity (0, 0.1–4.0, >4.0 h/week), cycling (0, 0.1–2.4, 2.5–4.9, ≥5.0 h/week), smoking (never, past, current <20 cigarettes/d, current ≥20 cigarettes/d), and alcohol intake (0, 0.1–5.0, 5.1–10.0, 10.1–20.0, 20.1–40.0, >40.0 g/d).

# Odds Ratio adjusted for matching factors, including age at blood draw (yrs), race (white or not), fasting status (yes, no), and time of blood drawing, as well as smoking status (current smoker, past smoker, non-smoker), physical activity (in tertiles), alcohol use (abstainer, <5.0 g/day, 5.0–14.9 g/day, ≥15.0 g/day), and education (registered nurse, bachelor, master and higher).
