Table 3.

The entries list the average power to detect associations between metabolites and disease in a case/control study that has 500, 1000, and 5000 individuals and where the metabolites have true relative risks of 1.5, 3.0, and 5.0. These true values translate to naïve estimates for RR of 1.3, 2.0, and 2.8.

Relative Risk
N 1.5 3.0 5.0
500 <1% 38% 75%
1000 2.9% 74% 92%
5000 55% 97% 98%
