10 (1.03-1.17) at 30 years, 1.11 (1.04-1.17) at 50 years and 1.19 (1.10-1.29) at baseline. The results for women were similar with multivariable RR of 1.16 (1.06-1.27) at 30 years, 1.14 (1.05-1.24) at 50 years and 1.11 (0.99-1.24) at baseline.Conclusion These findings suggest that high load of OPA previous in life may play a role in increasing the…[Read more]
