Increase in blood nitromethane (ng/L) associated with median daily consumption of food group (kg/day). The geometric mean of blood nitromethane used for computing ΔY [95%CI] is 672 ng/L. NHANES 2007 – 2012 (N=6,464).
| Food Group | SE[β]a | Median Consumed [95% CI]b (kg/day) | ΔY [95% CI]c (ng/L) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meat, poultry | 0.0246 | 0.140 [0.133, 0.146] | 7.55 [2.97, 12.2] |
| Grain products | 0.0212 | 0.259 [0.246, 0.271] | 9.32 [2.05, 16.7] |
| Vegetables | 0.0342 | 0.115 [0.108, 0.123] | 14.5 [9.21, 19.8] |
a
Sample-weighted standard error of the regression slope for food group used to compute 95%CI of ΔY.
b
Sample-weighted median daily amount of food group consumed.
c
Expected change in nitromethane concentration associated with consuming the median amount of food group at the overall geometric mean, controlling for predictors in the CPD regression model.
