The models are the same as described in table 3.
For each model, age and gender were forced in the regression.
Model 1, N=468; model 1 with β2-mU>20 μg/g CrU, N=393; models 2 and 3, N=492; models 2 and 3 with β2-mU>20 μg/g CrU, N=416.
β2-mU, concentration of β2-microglobulin in urine; CdU, concentration of cadmium in urine; CrU, concentration of creatinine in urine.
