The association between serum vitamin E and serum IgEs concentrations

β coef, β coefficient; CI, confidence interval; P, P-value.

¹⁾Parameter estimates (β coefficient and 95% confidence interval) and p-values between serum vitamin E and IgEs were calculated by general linear model without adjustment.

²⁾Parameter estimates (β coefficient and 95% confidence interval) and p-values between serum vitamin E and IgEs were calculated by general linear model with adjustment for age and gender.

^†Total serum IgE levels < 300 kU/l were considered in the normal range and specific IgE levels ≥ 0.35 kU_A/l by CAP assay were considered positive.
