Beta (and P value) of predictors for log serum ferritin concentration from a multivariate linear regression model. (Model excludes two cases with high estimated caloric intake and 6 cases with history of HIV seropositivity)

Predictor^*	Beta (P value)
Sex (male)	0.40 (0.041)
Log alcohol intake (g per day)	0.06 (0.021)
Log ALT concentration (U/L)	0.60 (0.0001)
Constant	2.21 (0.0001)
Model R²	0.23

Primary variables entered into the models were: sex, age, BMI, alcohol intake, heme and non-heme iron intake, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ferroportin Q248H and ALT
