Linear regression of age against lipid classes/subclasses (A) and lipid species (B) adjusting for sex, BMI, total cholesterol, HDL-C, and triglycerides and including an age × sex interaction term. Pink and blue solid circles show classes and species that are significantly associated with age in women and men respectively (corrected p < 0.05). Open circles represent nonsignificant classes/subclasses or species (corrected p > 0.05). All lipid classes/subclasses showing significant sex interaction (interaction p < 0.05) and the 10 most significantly different species between men and women (interaction p-value < 1.0 × 10−22) in the association with age are labelled. Whiskers represent 95% confidence intervals. See S1 Data for the underlying data.
