1 Main characteristics of the subset of population characterised as a whole and grouped by BMI. This includes subjects from NUTRI-BLOOD study (n = 18) pooled with OptiDiet-15 (n = 41). The data are presented as the mean and standard deviation (SD). p-value was assessed by Student’s t test comparing BMI groups. Abbreviations: BMI: body mass index; CRP: C-reactive protein; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HDLc: high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDLc: low density lipoprotein cholesterol; MAP: mean of arterial pressure; SBP: systolic blood pressure.
