Note: -Values are from linear regression with the natural logarithm of glyphosate or AMPA as outcome, adjusted for urinary creatinine. LOD: for glyphosate and for AMPA. Values of glyphosate or AMPA were substituted with . Age, BMI, and HEI were evaluated as continuous variables; results were comparable when evaluated as categorical variables. —, no data; AMPA, aminomethylphosphonic acid; BMI, body mass index; HEI, Healthy Eating Index; LOD, limit of detection; min, minutes; NA, not applicable; Ref, reference.
