Table 3 Serum leptin concentrations by dietary patterns in the NHANES III 1

From: Serum leptin concentrations are not related to dietary patterns but are related to sex, age, body mass index, serum triacylglycerol, serum insulin, and plasma glucose in the US population

  1. 1 n = 4009; weighted n = 99,249,927.
  2. 2 Mean ± standard error. Analysis was performed on log leptin concentrations because of non-normality distribution.
  3. 3 Significance for the Wald F statistic in the analysis of covariance.
  4. 4 Signifcantly different from Western dietary pattern, Bonferroni correction, P < 0.0167.
  5. 5 Signficantly different from Mixed dietary pattern, Bonferroni correction, P < 0.0167.
  6. 6 Analysis was adjusted for sex, age, race-ethnicity, smoking, alcohol and energy intakes, BMI, serum triacylglycerol and insulin, and plasma glucose.
  7. 7 Analysis was adjusted for age, race-ethnicity, smoking, alcohol and energy intakes, BMI, serum triacylglycerol and insulin, and plasma glucose.
