Table 2.
Body weight, body mass index (BMI), pulse wave velocity (PWV) and systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) measurements, at baseline and following 14 days of PM and WP consumption (mean value ± standard deviation)
| Variable | Baseline | After PM | After WP | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | SD | Mean | SD | Mean | SD | |
| Body weight (kg) | 66.9 | 11.0 | 67.1 | 11.1 | 67.0 | 10.7 |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 22.7 | 3.1 | 22.8 | 3.1 | 22.8 | 3.1 |
| PWV (msec) | 6.5 | 0.5 | 6.2*** | 0.5 | 6.6 | 0.6 |
| SBP (mmHg) | 115.5 | 11.8 | 114.5 | 3.9 | 115.0 | 11.8 |
| DBP (mmHg) | 70.1 | 8.6 | 71.6 | 10.6 | 69.3 | 9.8 |
BMI: Body mass index; SBP: Systolic blood pressure; DBP: Diastolic blood pressure; PWV: Pulse wave velocity. P-values were two-sided, and treatment effect was considered statistically significant ***p < 0.001
