In the table is seen linear regression analysis for study variables and study outcomes. For each study outcome the R-value and the p value are reported. The study outcomes are expressed as delta (Δ)-values, that represent changes between follow-up vs. baseline values. The symbol

^*is indicating a p <0.05. The p <0.05 is indicating a statistically significant p-value. CRP, C reactive protein; HOMA_IR, homeostasis model for the assessment of insulin resistance; IL6, interleukine 6; MPI, myocardium performance index; SIRT1, sirtuin 1; TNFα tumor necrosis factor alpha.
