OBS = oxidative balance score; FOP = florescent oxidation products; FIP = F2-isoprostanes; mtDNA = mitochondrial DNA copy number; NHW = Non-Hispanic White; AA = African American; WA = West African, CI = confidence interval.

a

Adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and BMI.

b

Adjusted for age, sex, and BMI.

c

Method 1 - analytical population only includes participants with complete information on OBS components.

d

Method 2 - analytical population includes participants with missing values for OBS components. Imputed values for missing OBS components were randomly assigned.

e

Method 3 - analytical population includes participants with missing values for OBS components. Imputed values for missing OBS components were the observed median values for the same age, gender, and race/ethnicity category.
