P-trend from Wald test for nonlinearity.

aModels included concentration for paracetamol or p-aminophenol and partner's concentration as well.

bModels were adjusted for female age, female and male age difference, female and male: BMI, creatinine, smoking status (cotinine dichotomized at a threshold of 10 ng/ml), race/ethnicity (dichotomized, non-White versus White) and income (dichotomized at $70 000).

cModels were adjusted for covariates listed in model B along with female and male hypertension and hypothyroid.
