Relationship of plasma L and Z to core study variables In the general linear model with putative core explanatory variables (age, sex, MP, education level, BMI, smoking status and family history of AMD), these variables were significantly related to plasma L after controlling for the other variables, with highly significant relationships (p<0.001) for sex, BMI, education level, family history of AMD, MP, and smoking status.
