  1. Values are means ± SDs
  2. CD control diet, ND healthy Nordic diet, E % percentage of energy, SFA saturated fatty acids, MUFA monounsaturated fatty acids, PUFA polyunsaturated fatty acids
  3. aWith linear multivariable regression analysis, the effect of the independent variable “study group” adjusted for dietary data at baseline, study center, gender, log10-transformed age, and body weight at the end of the intervention was assessed. The regression coefficient expresses the mean difference between the groups, unadjusted and adjusted. The CD and the ND groups did not differ from each other at baseline (P > 0.05)
