Table 5

Multivariate logistic regression analysis testing for NAT1*14A as a potential effect modifier. The used best-fit model is based on the following variables in the crude model: income, family history, passive smoking at the work place, occupational exposure to combustion fumes, previous history of prostate-related symptoms, and history of urinary tract infections.
