Figure 3

Dose–response relationships between log10 transformed urinary cadmium concentrations (U-Cd) and logit-transformed prevalence rates of urinary KIM-1 (Logit) in men (open square) and women (black diamond). Prevalence rates were determined using cutoff values for urinary KIM-1 at 1,577 and 2,413 μg/g Cr for men and women, respectively, which were 95 percentile values of urinary KIM-1 in men and women with urinary Cd < 2 μg/g Cr. Regression line: Y = 2.27 log X −3.12 for men (broken line), Y = 2.23 X −3.81 for women (solid line).
