Structural model for partial mediation of the Fatty Acids on PSS Coping via CYTOKINE. χ ² = 144.66, df = 108, P = 0.01068, RMSEA = 0.042; GFI = 0.92; AGFI = 0.88; NNFI = 0.98; SRMR = 0.053; Four multivariate outliers excluded (n = 190); All parameters fully standardized; significant pathways indicated by asterix in Table 3. PSS: Perceived Stress Scale; SLEEP: number of hours sleep in the 72 hours prior to the blood draw; AA: RBC membrane arachidonic acid, as measured in absolute amounts (μg/mL); DHA: RBC membrane docosahexaenoic acid, as measured in absolute amounts (μg/mL); WAIST: waist circumference; OVERWHELM: latent factor representing PSS questions 6, 10, 2, and 8, where 8 was negatively loaded; Coping: latent factor representing PSS questions 7, 5, and 4; EMOTIONAL: latent factor representing PSS questions 1, 3, and 9. Curved arrows represent correlations, straight arrows represent regressions, arrows pointing in to outcome variables represent structural disturbances (errors).
