Abbreviations: USKC, US Kidney Cancer Study; PAR, population attributable risk; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index.

a

PARs adjusted for hypertension, chronic kidney disease, body mass index, smoking status, education, age, study center and family history of cancer.

b

P-value estimated from two sample t-test of difference by race.

c

Renal cancer incidence rate per 100,000 per year in the absence of exposure = [SEER incidence rate*(1-PAR%)] by race and sex.
