Simple univariate regression analysis was used to test for unadjusted associations between antibody response to vaccination and the contemporary variables measured at the time of vaccination; sex, age, location (rural vs. urban), weight, height, BMI, plasma leptin, month of study (February, March, April, May), malaria parasitaemia (+ve vs. −ve), and serum neopterin levels (Table 4). Here, LEP is linked to malaria.
