Spearman's rank correlation coefficients (95% CIa) between the frequency of dairy product intake estimated with a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and the µg/mL and weight percentage of plasma phospholipid pentadecanoic acid (n=102b)
| Pentadecanoic Acid | ||
|---|---|---|
| Dairy Product | µg/mL | Weight Percentage |
| Cheese | 0.36 (0.18, 0.52)* | 0.39 (0.21, 0.54)* |
| Whole fat milk | 0.12 (−0.11, 0.34) | 0.15 (−0.07, 0.33) |
| Total milk | 0.08 (−0.12, 0.27) | 0.08 (−0.11, 0.27) |
| Total milk/yoghurt | 0.07 (−0.13, 0.27) | 0.09 (−0.12, 0.28) |
| Total fat dairy | 0.39 (0.20, 0.56)* | 0.43 (0.26, 0.58)* |
| Total dairy | 0.29 (0.11, 0.47)* | 0.31 (0.11, 0.48)* |
