Heat map of the associations between nutrient biomarkers, desaturase enzyme activities, and CMRFs. The associations between biomarkers and CMRFs were estimated using multiple linear regression models adjusted for sex, age, study group, and baseline CMRF value. Each pixel represents the β-coefficients from the estimated models (mean change in the CMRF associated with an increase in 1 SD of the biomarker). Blue indicates a negative association, whereas red indicates a positive association, with the darkness of each color corresponding to the magnitude of the β-coefficient. *Significant association. The number of children included in the association models ranged from 208 to 253. Adipo, adiponectin; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transaminase; BMIz, BMI z score; CLA, conjugated linolenic acid; CMRF, cardiometabolic risk factor; CRP, C-reactive protein; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; D5D, δ-5-desaturase; D6D, δ-6-desaturase; E-sel, E-selectin; HDL-C, HDL cholesterol; LDL-C, LDL cholesterol; P-sel, P-selectin; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SCD, stearoyl co-A desaturase; sICAM, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; Throm, thrombomodulin.
