aTotal urinary arsenic concentration (sum of iAs, MMA, and DMA) is creatinine adjusted.

bEstimates are from mixed-effects models, as arsenic species were measured at week 0 and week 12, and both timepoints were analyzed together in a single model. Sample sizes for week 0: urinary total arsenic (n = 301), urinary arsenic species (n = 290), blood total arsenic and arsenic species (n = 253). Sample sizes for week 12: urinary total arsenic and arsenic species (n = 222), blood total arsenic and arsenic species (n = 190). Total observations: urinary total arsenic (n = 523), urinary arsenic species (n = 444), blood total arsenic and arsenic species (n = 443).

cMultivariate model adjusted for age, sex, and ancillary study.
