a Multivariable model adjusting for age (years; continuous), coronary heart disease case-control status (case, control), Women’s Health Initiative substudy (Observational Study, Estrogen-Alone Trial, or Estrogen Plus Progestin Trial), smoking status (never, past, or current smoker), fasting status (yes, no), alcohol intake (g/day; continuous), Alternative Healthy Eating Index score (0–100; continuous), total energy intake (kcal/day; continuous), and racial/ethnic group (white, black, Hispanic, Asian, or other).

b BMI is calculated as weight (kg)/height (m)2.

c No data were available for this metabolite in the Women’s Health Initiative.
