Relative contribution of selected factors in the variability of plasma protein levels. Relative contribution (CAR score [39]) of the 20 significantly associated factors to the variability of plasma protein levels. Variables are sorted depending on the number of significant associations with proteins. The number of proteins significantly associated with each variable is reported on the x-axis. The diameter of each dot represents the median CAR score of the corresponding factor in the variation of the associated plasma proteins
