Values are odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for diabetes, from conditional logistic regressions. The amino acid combination is modeled according to the formula β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3, with Xj denoting the standardized value for the jth amino acid, and βj denoting the regression coefficient from the conditional logistic regression model containing the indicated metabolites.
