Table 6.

Predicted probability of Zn adequacy of hypothetical subjects using the above ZSI example 1 ¹.

Hypothetical Subject	LA:DGLA (x1)		Δ6-Desaturase (x2)		Blautia (x3)		Predicted Probability of Zn Adequacy (p)	Estimated Zn Status
	Percentile	Value (AU)	Percentile	Value (AU)	Percentile	Value (AU)
Subject 1A	50	50	50	192	50	0.021	0.59	Mildly Zn deficient
Subject 1B	20	38	50	192	50	0.021	0.64	Minimally Zn adequate
Subject 1C	50	50	80	249	50	0.021	0.25	Moderately Zn deficient
Subject 1D	50	50	50	192	80	0.035	0.73	Minimally Zn adequate

¹ Note that in all these hypothetical scenarios we assume that the data have been standardized relative to a reference experiment.
