a Hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval with adjustment for age, BMI, smoking status (ever/never) and total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio for all models.

b Hazard ratio indicates HR of CHD events for 2-fold increase in lead levels.

c P value from Wald test in the adjusted Cox proportional hazard models, when genotype indicators treated as a continuous variable.

d Null values are due to the absence of subjects or a small number of subjects.
