BCS, body condition score; cTnI, cardiac troponin‐I; MDA=malondialdehyde; oxLDL=oxidized low‐density lipoprotein; bold values represent variables with P < .2 that are included in multivariable regression analysis.

^aThe statistical analysis of MDA and oxLDL included 74 dogs as 1 dog was excluded (outlier).
