Of 31 micronutrient measures in blood, we identified 12 significant predictors for total cholesterol, 9 for HDL, 9 for LDL and 11 for triglycerides (Table S3). Measures of B vitamins (folate, B12, methylmalonic acid), vitamin A (retinol, retinyl palmitate, retinyl stearate), carotenoids (α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein/zeaxanthin, lycopene), and/or vitamin E (α- and γ-tocopherol) were selected for each lipid outcome. These phenotype-specific nutrient variables along with the pre-selected base covariates were adjusted for when identifying environmental pollutants for ERS.
