With the exception of the age category 25 34, mean scores on both the EQ index and EQ-VAS decreased with increasing category of age (Table 2).
Among all racial/ethnic groups, the age-adjusted prevalence of GDM increased with increasing category of BMI (kg/m) (Table 2).
Results for urine Cd were less striking, though crude odds of ID and low SF were associated with increasing category of urine Cd (per gram Cr).
Adjusted odds of ID, IDA, low SF, and low TSAT were associated with increasing category of blood Cd but not urine Cd.
After adjusting for race/ethnicity and age, we noted decreasing proportions of triple-negative tumours with increasing category of BMI (p = 0.08).
