  1. Dependent variable = % 20:4 n6. B = unstandardized regression coefficient, Beta = standardized coefficient. Model 1 is without adjustment; Model 2 = Model 1 + adjustment for sex, age, and body mass index (BMI); Model 3 = Model 2 + control for relative amount of all of the other fatty acids measured (see Methods).
