This table list Pearson’s correlation coefficient (𝑅) and probability (𝑃) for amino acids that demonstrated significant (𝑃<0.05) correlation between their plasma level and BMI. The amino acid L-serine demonstrated an inverse correlation with BMI, whereas all other amino acids listed in this table demonstrated a positive linear correlation.
