BMI, body mass index. Results are expressed as coefficient and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the fixed parameters. Statistical analysis by a mixed model using individual origin and day slope as random effect parameters. Test for interaction between type of scalpel and day: z = 0.06, p-value = 0.953
