Fig. 2From: Lifestyle correlates of eight breast cancer-related metabolites: a cross-sectional study within the EPIC cohortAdjusted means of metabolite concentrations by categories of correlates (N = 2358). Only metabolites and variables for which a significant association was detected in the discovery and validation sets are shown. Adjusted means and their 95% confidence intervals were obtained from linear regression models adjusted for fasting status, center, age, date and time at blood collection, menopausal status, and phase of menstrual cycle at blood collection. Dotted lines indicate the overall means of metabolite concentration. *Residuals on total energy intake.
