Effects of total dietary micronutrient (α-tocopherol, vitamin C and trans-fatty acid intake) intake on A leukopoiesis (GAM three-way smooth term: edf=9, Ref. df=9, F=3.8, p<0.001, Dev. Expl.=6.7%, n=3334), B liver/kidney function (GAM three-way smooth term: edf=9, Ref. df=9, F=1.9, p<0.05, Dev. Expl.=3.7%, n=1834), C micronutrients (GAM three-way smooth term: edf=9, Ref. df=9, F=2.3, p=0.01, Dev. Expl.=3.8%, n=1750) and D global (GAM three-way smooth term: edf=9.2, Ref. df=9.5, F=2.5, p<0.01, Dev. Expl.=7.5%, n=1718) dysregulation score as predicted by model 6. Intakes have been Z-transformed and are thus in units of SD. In all cases, predictions assume the micronutrient not displayed on either the x- or y-axis is held at the population mean. Numeric confounding variables included in model 6 were alcohol intake, income, education level, age, physical activity level (PASE) and the number of comorbidities, and predictions assume population mean values. Predictions are for men and assume a non-smoker
