BIS, body iron stores; BW, body weight; PHep, plasma hepcidin.

Differences between nested models were tested with change in F statistic; differences between non-nested models were tested by comparing different R coefficients with the Steiger Z test. Reported models differ significantly if superscript differs, P < .01. All models are significant at P < .01. Differences between nested models were tested with change in F statistic; Differences between non-nested models were tested by comparing different R coefficients with the Steiger Z test. Within one category of dependent variables, reported models differ significantly if superscript differs, P < .01.
