Table 3. Associations between lipid traits and vitamins A and E.
The association of lipid traits and vitamin levels were performed using linear regression, adjusted for age and sex. Both triglycerides and vitamin E levels were natural-log transformed. Measures of variance explained (R2) are also provided for each association based on unadjusted regressions. Significant associations (p<0.01) are in bold.
