Correlation between prime components of serum carotenoids and BV. Respectively, Fig. 3 A, B, C, D, and E represent the correlation between α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, lutein/zeaxanthin, and BV. The central red dots represent serum carotenoid concentrations, with each point contributing to a continuous fitted curve. The region between the two blue dashed lines corresponds to the 95% confidence interval. The X-axis is serum carotenoid levels (continuous variable), and the Y-axis is odds ratios (ORs). ORs were computed from Model II in a multivariate logistic regression analysis
