  1. Values are expressed as medians (25th, 75th centiles) or frequencies. P values were calculated from non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous variables, Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables for multiple comparisons correction and adjusted by FDR method. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 when compared to Class A. #p < 0.05; ##p < 0.01; ###p < 0.01when compared to Class B. ΔThe metabolites are still independent variables for disease classification considering the effect of age, gender and BMI based on multiple logistic regression.
