aCarlson et al. study 𝑛 = 5 0 0 European male subjects [27].
bt-Statistics and 𝑃 -values were calculated from the coefficients from each subgroup (Carlson 𝑛 = 5 0 0 , current study 𝑛 = 5 2 3 ) and standard errors within the best-fit multivariate model by the glm function in R.
cBoth Carlson and current study utilized a linear regression model adjusting for age, current smoking status, and the four functional PON1 SNPs.
