The test for deviation from linearity for the tibia lead–cognitive change association among the variant allele carriers was nearly significant (optimal degree of smoothing: 1.68, p = 0.08), suggesting that, among variant allele carriers, a unit increase in lead burden may be associated with disproportionately greater cognitive decline at high lead burden than at low lead burden.
