Table 4.
Univariate associations of different diets and 24 h urinary parameters with urinary cysteine excretion.
| Cysteine | Coefficient B | 95% CI | p Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diet WD | (reference) | ||
| Diet MD | 21.98 | −9.10–53.08 | 0.166 |
| Diet VD | 32.17 | −6.29–70.64 | 0.101 |
| Sodium (70 mmol/24 h) | 0.22 | −0.27–0.49 | 0.569 |
| Sulfate (6 mmol/24 h) | 5.90 | 0.48–11.32 | 0.033 |
| Phosphate (10 mmol/24 h) | −0.31 | −2.92–2.30 | 0.817 |
Abbreviations: WD, Western-type diet; MD, balanced mixed diet; VD, balanced lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet; CI, confidence interval. The p values are from generalized models with a per-person random effect. The Coefficient B is the estimated difference in urinary cysteine excretion per difference in univariate predictor.
