Table 5. Standardized estimates of direct effects of EPA on BMI z-score and SBP z-score/DBP z-score and indirect effects of EPA on SBP z-score/DBP z-score via BMI z-score in thin/normal weight versus overweight/obese children obtained from path analyses.
| Thin/normal weight n = 316 |
Overweight/Obese n = 204 |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| SBP | Coefficient | p-value | Coefficient | p-value |

| Direct effects on DBP | ||||
| EPA | -0.023 | 0.756 | 0.143 | 0.058 |
| Direct effects on BMI | ||||
| EPA | -0.206 | < .0001 | 0.535 | < .0001 |

Bold figures indicate a false discovery rate (FDR) <0.05 for reported effects on SBP and DBP, respectively. An FDR adjusted significance value corresponds to αadj = 0.025 for both models.
