Bold values denote statistical significance.

aThe overall analyses have been adjusted for sex, age, BMI, batch and race/ethnicity. β values correspond to the difference in EB–GII adducts (fmol/ml) for the second and third tertiles compared with the first tertile.

bThe race/ethnic specific analyses have been adjusted for sex, age, BMI and batch.

cA P-value for trend was calculated to determine whether the noted shift from tertiles 1–3 is statistically significant.

dIn addition to the model adjustments from a and b above, these analyses have been further adjusted for NE for both the overall and race/ethnic specific results. β values correspond to the difference in EB–GII adducts (fmol/ml) per change in tertile.

eCYP2A6 tertile range are as follows: Tertile 1 (0.0412–0.495), N = 110 | Tertile 2 (0.496–1.195), N = 111 | Tertile 3 (1.200–18.148), N = 110.
