This table is restricted to vitamin/mineral levels demonstrating physiologically relevant correlations (r2 > 0.15). These include Vitamin A, Folate, Vitamin D25-OH, Vitamin D 1-25, γ-tocopherol, Copper, and Ceruloplasmin. Negative and positive correlations are indicated by respective arrows as shown beneath the table. Multivariate model was limited to the independent variables analyzed in TABLE III.
↑
indicates positive correlation.
↓
indicates negative correlation.
All P < 0.0125. Bold type indicates retained significance <0.05 in multivariate analysis.
