Regression model examining predictors of plasma RvE1.

Dependent variable	Predictor variables	β	t	p-value
(ln) Plasma RvE1 (pg/ml)
	Sex (female)	−0.144	−2.740	0.006
	BMI	−0.104	−2.023	0.044
	Smoker	0.109	2.043	0.042
	(ln) Alcohol intake	0.177	3.218	0.001

Adjusted r² = 0.14, ANOVA_F6,520 = 14.00, p < 0.001.

Sex and smoking were entered as categorical, BMI (kg/m²), alcohol intake (g/wk), arachidonic acid (%) and docosahexaenoic acid (%) were entered as continuous variables. (ln) represents the natural logarithm transformation. Other predictors variables entered in the backward regression model were (ln) HsCRP (mg/L), (ln) triglycerides (mmol/L), cholesterol (mmol/L), (ln)adiponectin µg/ml, and physical activity (mets/wk).
