  1. aCreatinine represented as continuous log-variable, bGrilled meat represented as 0 for Non-consumers and 1 for consumers; c Smoking habits: cotinine represented as continuous log- variable, R2: explained variance (i.e. the square of the correlation coefficient). Results are given for those variables that correlated, and only when the regression was significant (p < 0.05).
