Path diagram showing hypothesized relationships between variables, decomposed into direct and indirect effects. Path diagram showing hypothesized relationships between variables as suggested in the literature, decomposed into direct and indirect effects. The indirect pathways between the included explanatory variables and MS were hypothesized to be mediated by PTH. Arrows represent dependencies between variables. Absence of an arrow between two variables indicates that the variables are considered to be statistically independent in the model.
