a

Adjusting for age, race, BMI, total physical activity, smoking status, education, organic fruit and vegetable consumption frequency, years and season of urine sample collections, and residential pesticide use history.

b

Including 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol, 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxy-pyrimidine, and para-nitrophenol. Due to presence of interfering compounds in 19 samples for IMPY, only 158 samples (from 88 men) were available for molar sum organophosphate metabolite analysis.

c

P-value < 0.05 compared with men in the lowest quartile of intake.

d

Estimated using median intake in each quartile as a continuous variable.
