Characteristics by tertiles of the DNL-index (16:0 / 18:2n-6), palmitic acid (16:0) and palmitoleic acid (16:1n-7) in men, EPIC-Potsdam study (n = 573) a.

a For continuous variables, values are medians (IQR); for categorical variables, values are percentages (all such values). P value reflects whether the values of the variables significantly differ between extreme erythrocyte FA/FA-ratio tertiles (Wilcoxon’s test for continuous variables and χ2 test for categorical variables).Characteristics by tertiles of the DNL-index (16:0 / 18:2n-6), palmitic acid (16:0) and palmitoleic acid (16:1n-7) in men, EPIC-Potsdam study (n = 573) a.
