Our two-step approach is to our knowledge original although it follows a logic previously used in some biomarkers studies [ 19], and also in other areas of the epidemiologic and clinical literature, for example in studies of lung function, in which results of a lung function test (e.g., FEV1) are standardized on gender and age, to limit the impact of these (nuisance) factors.
