Figure 1

Kaplein–Meier survival curve for patients with low versus high fatty acid content in skeletal muscle phospholipids. (A–C) Represent survival distribution of surgical patients with gastrointestinal cancer based on fatty acid cut-points associated with increased mortality risk obtained by optimum stratification and adjusted for sex. (D) Represents survival distribution of patients with ARA, EPA and DHA above and below the cut-points. Log-rank tests were used to compare the survival curves of each variable (p < 0.05).
