Fig. 3: Associations between types of carbohydrates and individual metabolites.

a–g, Volcano plots showing the associations between added sugar (a), whole grain (b), refined grain (c), fruit (d), vegetable (E), legume (f), potato intake (g) and plasma metabolites by using multivariate linear regressions in the LVS (n = 1,196). The models were adjusted by for cohort, age, BMI, ancestry, smoking, physical activity, alcohol drinking and AHEI, excluding whole grains when analysing whole grains, similar for vegetables, fruits and legumes) and total calorie intake. The variables were accessed at the blood draw. Two-sided statistical tests were employed, with Bonferroni correction applied for multiple comparisons for analysing individual metabolites (P < 0.05/293). The metabolites above the dotted line are significant.
