Table A2.

Survey-weighted serum parameters of NHANES 2007–2010 study participants following a meat-eating, flexitarian, pescatarian or vegetarian diet (n = 8885 ^a).

	Unweighted Participants Counts (Survey-Weighted Frequencies)
	Meat-Eaters	Flexitarians	Pescatarians	Vegetarians
Serum parameters, mean b (SE)
C-reactive protein(mg/dL)	0.2 (0.004)	0.1 (0.01)	0.1 (0.02)	0.1 (0.02)
Cotinine (ng/mL)	0.3 (0.03)	0.1 (0.04)	0.1 (0.02)	0.2 (0.1)
Glycosylated hemoglobin (%)	5.6 (0.01)	5.7 (0.07)	5.3 (0.04)	5.4 (0.045)
Albumin (g/dL)	4.3 (0.007)	4.3 (0.03)	4.2 (0.1)	4.3 (0.046)
Creatinine (mg/dL)	0.9 (0.005)	0.8 (0.02)	0.7 (0.02)	0.8 (0.02)
Alkaline phosphotase (U/L)	64.1 (0.3)	64.1 (2.9)	62.3 (4.6)	60.3 (2.4)

^a Due to missing biomarker values among 83 participants overall (n missing for CRP = 9, cotinine = 23, glycosylated hemoglobin = 15, albumin = 62, creatinine = 63, alkaline phosphatase = 63) Model 2 included data of 8885 participants. ^b Mean values are geometric mean values.
