Models adjusted for age (years), sex (male, female), intervention group (MedDiet + extra-virgin olive oil, MedDiet + nuts), BMI (kg/m2), smoking (never, current, former), leisure-time physical activity (metabolic equivalent tasks in minutes per day), dyslipidemia, hypertension, and baseline fasting glucose (mean + quadratic term of centered mean) and stratified by recruitment center. TCA, tricarboxylic acid cycle.

2

An inverse normal transformation was applied to raw values.

3

False discovery rate–corrected P value.

4

These metabolites were not chromatographically resolved and do not have unique multiple reaction monitoring transitions in MS.

5

Weighted sum of all metabolites (using regression coefficients as weights after applying the leave-one-out cross-validation approach). Weighted proportional hazards Cox regression models were used.
