Table 3 The estimated changes in miR-222 and miR-146a associated with screen time, adjusted using Monte Carlo simulation.

From: Children’s screen time alters the expression of saliva extracellular miR-222 and miR-146a

 

Effect size (adjusted 95% CI)

Adjusted p-value

miR-222

3.44 (1.34–5.62)

0.0022

miR-146a

1.84 (−0.07–3.78)

0.060

  1. *Effect sizes represent the mean % change with the 95% confidence intervals in miRNA for a 1-hour increment in weekly screen time. Models were adjusted for gender, age, passive smoking exposure, maternal education and RNA content of the extracellular fraction. Monte Carlo simulation was repeated 10,000 times.
