HM/HGI, high–monounsaturated fatty acid and HGI diet; HM/LGI, HM and low–glycemic index diet; LF/HGI, low-fat and HGI diet; LF/LGI, LF and LGI diet; IQR, interquartile range. Transformations: log(Si), cube root(AIRg), and reciprocal RQUICKI. Outliers were removed. Mean (95% CI) changes were calculated on a transformed scale but expressed as percentage changes from median values at baseline.

From ANCOVA of transformed follow-up measures on transformed baseline measures adjusted for sex, center, ethnicity, and baseline waist circumference, (log)HDL, and age.
