In sensitivity analyses, additional adjustment for hemoglobin, body mass index, smoking, or past lead exposure did not appreciably change effect estimates (data not shown).
Additional control for systolic blood pressure, baseline diabetes, and dietary intake of fish and rice did not appreciably change effect estimates (see appendix 3 on bmj.com).
Adjustment for education or overall pesticide use did not appreciably alter effect estimates, nor did exclusion of 28 cases and 6 controls with proxy interviews or inclusion of 3 atypical parkinsonism cases.
Further adjustment for AGEs or soluble RAGE (sRAGE) did not appreciably change the effect estimates either (models 7a,b).
Diabetes however was not significantly associated with UTI or pyelonephritis and its inclusion in multivariate models did not appreciably alter the effect estimates for UTI or pyelonephritis.
Season of monitoring and daily pollen concentrations measured at a National Allergy Bureau station in Brooklyn, New York, were evaluated as confounders but were not included in final models because they lacked significance and did not appreciably change pollutant effect estimates.
The fact that the type of support does not appreciably influence the effects of PP on gas exchange has been deduced from previously published studies.
The remaining results suggest that diet, as represented by our composite score, does not appreciably modify the effects of several loci, singly or collectively, on BMI and BMI-adjusted WHR.
Adjustment for hemoglobin, albumin, and phosphate levels did not appreciably alter the effects of dipstick proteinuria in the same models (HR, 1.23 [95% CI, 0.97-1.57] in the first 6 months and HR, 1.28 [95% CI, 1.06-1.53] in the subsequent 18 months).
We then added the one-year improvement in the UFOV test to the model reflected in column two (i.e., change in expenditures at the first annual follow-up) of Table 2. Doing so did not appreciably alter the effects for the memory or reasoning groups, which remained statistically insignificant (p >.40).
