Table 3 All metabolites that met q-value < 0.2 in at least one primary model analysis that adjusts for matching factors. M1 is the simple modela (accounting for matching factors) and M2 is the adjusted modelb (adjusting for matching factors and breast cancer risk factors).

From: Circulating amino acids and amino acid-related metabolites and risk of breast cancer among predominantly premenopausal women

  1. aSimple model: adjusts for matching factors including menopausal status at blood draw, time of blood draw, date/season of blood draw, luteal day at blood draw, fasting status at blood draw, menopausal status at diagnosis and race
  2. bAdjusted model: in addition to matching factors, this model adjusts for BMI at age 18, weight change between age 18 and time of blood draw, age at menarche, parity and age at first birth, family history of breast cancer, personal history of benign breast disease, physical activity, alcohol consumption, exogenous hormone use, breast feeding history
