Table 4 Multiple regression model assessing the association between plasma TAC and body weight changes after 3 years of nutritional intervention with a Mediterranean diet rich in VOO (n=65)

From: A 3 years follow-up of a Mediterranean diet rich in virgin olive oil is associated with high plasma antioxidant capacity and reduced body weight gain

  1. Abbreviations: B, coefficient of the multiple linear regression model; BMI, body mass index; TAC, total antioxidant capacity.
  2. a Dependent variable: body weight changes after 3 years of nutritional intervention (body weight at year 3-baseline body weight).
  3. P-values in bold indicate that they are statistically significant.
