Spearman rank correlations (r_S), *p < 0.050, **p < 0.010, ***p < 0.001, two-tailed. Bold-faced correlations are significant. Underlined p-values are significant after correction with false discovery rate. Sample sizes vary due to differing number of detected steroids and lipids in hair: n = ^a46, ^b23, ^c28, ^d53, ^e60, ^f31, ^g72.
