†Heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, BP, lying and standing BP (postural BP at screening only and to be repeated if history indicates).

‡Height only at screening; weight and waist circumference at every visit except week 4.

§Symptom directed physical examination only.

¶Point of care urine dip for haematuria, proteinuria, glycosuria, leucocytes and nitrites.

**Dietary history will be daily intake of olive oil, fruit, vegetables or salad, legumes, fish, wine, meat, white bread, rice and whole-grain bread.29 Exercise history will be the number of times per week exercise is undertaken, number of minutes of exercise per episode and type of exercise.
