Figure 3. Correlations between plasma differential bile acid levels and laboratory variables, or MoCA scores. Spearman correlation analyses are used. Color-coded: reds indicate positive associations and blues indicate negative associations, with square size proportional to the absolute value of the correlation coefficient. ^*P < 0.05; ^**P < 0.01; ^***P < 0.001. alloLCA: Allolithocholic acid; CDCA: chenodeoxycholic acid; FT4: thyroxine; GCDCA: glycochenodeoxycholic acid; GDCA: glycodeoxycholic acid; HCs: healthy controls; isoLCA: isolithocholic acid; MoCA: Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale; T4: thyroxine; TCDCA: taurochenodeoxycholic acid; TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone; βGCA: 3β-glycocholic acid; 12-oxo-CDCA: 12-oxochenodeoxycholic acid.
