Factors associated with total n-6 polyunsaturated and n-6/n-3 ratio fatty acids longitudinal changes.

<p>Notes: PUFAs = polyunsaturated fatty acids; BMI = Body Mass Index; SE = Standard Error; total n-6 = 18:2n6 + 18:3n6 + 20:2n6 + 20:3n6 + 20:4n6 + 22:4n6 + 22:5n6.</p><p>Number of observations and number of groups respectively: 521/193 for total n-6; 511/189 for n-6/n3 ratio.</p><p>*Data was not presented because the variable did not remain statistically significant in the final model.</p><p>^a β = longitudinal linear regression coefficient.</p><p>^b p-value refers to maximum likelihood estimator.</p><p>^c The first category is the reference and the second is the exposure.</p><p>Factors associated with total n-6 polyunsaturated and n-6/n-3 ratio fatty acids longitudinal changes.
