Variables associated with content of arachidonic acid in plasma phospholipids among 66 patients with ankylosing spondylitis in a multiple linear regression model.
| Variable | Standardized ß (95% CI) | p |
|---|---|---|
| BASDAI, mm | 0.02 (0.01–0.03) | < 0.01 |
| Linoleic acid, %* | −0.31 (−0.42– −0.19) | < 0.001 |
| Alcohol consumption, g/mo | −0.10 (−0.16– −0.04) | < 0.01 |
| Age, yrs | −0.03 (−0.05– −0.01) | < 0.05 |
| Overall model, adjusted r2 = 0.51 |
