TABLE 2.
Macronutrient intakes and body weights in study participants at baseline after a 4-wk run-in period of an SFA-rich reference diet and at 24 wk after random assignment to an HS, HM, or HC1
| HS | HM | HC | |
| Energy (MJ/d) | |||
| HS run-in | 7.74 ± 2.27 | 7.61 ± 2.21 | 7.70 ± 2.24 |
| Follow-up | 7.90 ± 2.41 | 7.99 ± 2.18 | 8.13 ± 2.21 |
| Protein (% of energy) | |||
| HS run-in | 17.1 ± 3.8 | 16.3 ± 3.0 | 16.4 ± 3.1 |
| Follow-up | 17.8 ± 3.8 | 16.2 ± 3.6 | 17.8 ± 3.3 |
| Carbohydrate (% of energy) | |||
| HS run-in | 44.6 ± 7.3 | 45.9 ± 8.0 | 44.4 ± 5.9 |
| Follow-up | 42.8 ± 7.3 | 47.2 ± 7.4 | 53.1 ± 6.32 |
| Fat (% of energy) | |||
| HS run-in | 35.7 ± 5.3 | 35.5 ± 6.1 | 36.9 ± 3.5 |
| Follow-up | 35.7 ± 5.3 | 34.4 ± 7.4 | 26.1 ± 5.42 |
| SFA (% of energy) | |||
| HS run-in | 15.3 ± 3.0 | 14.5 ± 3.0 | 15.1 ± 2.4 |
| Follow-up | 14.6 ± 2.8 | 9.4 ± 2.73 | 8.5 ± 2.03 |
| MUFA (% of energy) | |||
| HS run-in | 11.3 ± 2.4 | 10.8 ± 2.4 | 11.7 ± 1.5 |
| Follow-up | 11.3 ± 2.5 | 15.0 ± 4.54 | 9.3 ± 2.6 |
| PUFA (% of energy) | |||
| HS run-in | 5.6 ± 1.1 | 6.3 ± 2.1 | 6.1 ± 1.1 |
| Follow-up | 5.7 ± 1.4 | 6.5 ± 1.9 | 5.3 ± 1.95 |
| Body weight (kg) | |||
| HS run-in | 77.9 ± 13.9 | 78.3 ± 15.2 | 78.5 ± 14.0 |
| Follow-up | 78.1 ± 14.1 | 77.2 ± 15.7 | 77.9 ± 14.4 |
All values are means ± SDs. Data were analyzed by using ANCOVA with the run-in value as a covariate. In HS, HM, and HC groups, n = 28, n = 41, and n = 35, respectively, for dietary intake, except for weight, for which n = 30, n = 44, and n = 38, respectively. HC, low-SFA/high-carbohydrate diet; HM, low-SFA/high-MUFA diet; HS, high-SFA diet.
2P < 0.01 compared with HS and HM by using Bonferroni's multiple-comparison test.
3P < 0.01 compared with HS by using Bonferroni's multiple-comparison test.
4P < 0.01 compared with HS and HC by using Bonferroni's multiple-comparison test.
5P < 0.05 compared with HM by using Bonferroni's multiple-comparison test.
