a

The odds ratio per 80th percentile increase in metabolite. On the basis of 82 case–control pairs.

b

All metabolites had detectable values in >90% of the study population with the exception of alpha-CEHC glucuronide, alpha-CEHC sulfate, 1-palmitoyl-2-linolenoyl-GPC (16:0/18:3), 17alpha-hydroxypregnenolone sulfate, 2-hydroxyadipate, adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate, and 1,3-dimethylurate (38%, 58%, 66%, 59%, 61%, 54% and 84%, respectively).
