Linear Regression Models Testing the Relationship of Intake of AGEs via the Diet With Circulating Levels of AGEs (Serum CML and Serum MG)

	Serum CML		Serum MG
Independent Variables	β ± SE	p	β ± SE	p
Age, y	0.032 ± 0.03	.227	0.004 ± 0.002	.019
Gender	−1.13 ± 0.100	.299	0.060 ± 0.067	.372
BMI	0.033 ± 0.110	.759	0.008 ± 0.007	.255
Caloric intake, kcal/d	0.001 ± 0.001	.246	0.000 ± 0.000	.077
AGE intake, Eq/d	0.204 ± 0.064	.002	0.015 ± 0.004	.001

Note: AGEs = advanced glycation endproducts; BMI = body mass index; CML = carboxymethyl-lysine; MG = methylglyoxal; SE = standard error.
