Box-whisker charts of MANOVA scores, for (a) the factor Susceptibility (p>0.05), (b) the factor Sex (p<0.001) and (c) the interaction Susceptibility × Sex (p = 0.033). Baseline values are shown for male and female participants who remained seronegative (M- and F-), or who were found to have been infected (M+ and F+), during a follow-up study six months later. Outliers are shown explicitly (black dots).</p

Composition of the cohort in terms of male (M) and female participants (F), and post-hoc defined groups of participants that remain seronegative (IgG-) or become seropositive (IgG+) over the course of 6 months.

Values for the categorical (sex, IgG) and continuous variables (glucose, urea, creatinine, uric acid, BMI, WHR, MAP BR, HR and temperature) of the cohort.

Values for the categorical (sex, IgG) and continuous variables (glucose, urea, creatinine, uric acid, BMI, WHR, MAP BR, HR and temperature) of the cohort.</p

Baseline values for anthropometric, biochemical, and physiological variables of the groups of male and female participants that remain seronegative (M- and F-, respectively) and become seropositive over the course of 6 months (M+ and F+, respectively).

All variables, except cholesterol, are non-normal for at least one of the groups, and therefore are reported in standard units as Q2(Q1, Q3) (upper half of the table), where Q2 is second quartile, i.e., the median, Q1 y Q3 are first and third quartiles respectively. Non-normal data is log transformed and represented as mean (SD) (bottom half of the table), where SD is standard deviation. For completeness, cholesterol is given in both formats without log transformation. Statistically significant factors and/or interaction using 2-way ANOVA and statistically significant pairwise group comparisons using the Mann-Whitney U test are also indicated for individual variables.</p

Fig 3 -

Box-whisker charts of values of the continuous variables that show significant pairwise differences between groups using the Mann-Whitney U test, (a) waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), (b) mean arterial pressure (MAP), (c) creatinine, (d) uric acid, (e) urea, and (f) breathing rate (BR). Baseline values are shown for male and female participants who remained seronegative (M- and F-), or who were found to have been infected (M+ and F+), during a follow-up study six months later. Normative ranges of reference values are indicated for male (blue-shaded background) and female participants (pink-shaded background). Outliers are shown explicitly (black dots).</p
