Stratified analyses in men and women from linear regression of transformed protein levels adjusted for smoking, e-cigarette use, snuff use, and age at follow-up.
The table includes all proteins with unadjusted p-value for the interaction term %BF#Sex of < 0.05.
p-values at 0.05 FDR.
*p-value for the interaction term without FDR correction.
