Associations that remained significant after adjustment were considered more robust, whereas nominally significant unadjusted associations were interpreted as exploratory.
As with the other miRNAs, inverse correlations with hemoglobin (rho = −0.575, p < 0.001) and hematocrit (rho = −0.575, p < 0.001) and a positive correlation with MCV (rho = 0.524, p < 0.001) were highly significant, confirming a consistent pattern of erythroid disruption across all three markers.
