^{^a}

Adjusted for time to complete 7 m at baseline.

^{^b}

Fully adjusted included the following independent variables: age, sex, BMI, time to complete 7-m walk at baseline, smoking, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C, IL-6, total IGF-1, daily energy intake, physical activity, skeletal muscle density, and number of chronic co-morbid diseases.

^{^c}

Logarithm was used for all fatty acids except n-6 fatty acids.

SE, Standard error; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; SFA, saturated fatty acids; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; IL-6, interleukin-6; IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor-1.
