Stratified analyses in BMI categories from linear regression of transformed protein levels adjusted for sex, smoking, e-cigarette use, snuff use, and age at follow-up.

The table includes all proteins with unadjusted p-value for the interaction term VFR#BMI_category of < 0.05.

p-values at 0.05 FDR.
