Logistic regression analyses on the likelihood of BMI improvement * after MCTs supplementation, adjusted for possible confounders

Intervention	Model 1	Model 2	Model 3	Model 4
	OR (95% CI)	OR (95% CI)	OR (95% CI)	OR (95% CI)
Control group (no MCTs)	ref	ref	ref	ref
VLCKD + MCTs	1.53 (0.84–2.77) p: 0.131	1.59 (0.87–2.91) p: 0.162	1.49 (0.83–2.70) p: 0.181	1.48 (0.82–2.67) p: 0.190
VLCKD + earlyMCTs	1.98 (1.08–3.63) p: 0.028	1.96 (1.06–3.60) p: 0.031	1.90 (1.04–3.48) p: 0.037	1.85 (1.02–3.36) p: 0.043

*BMI improvement was evaluated as change of BMI classes according to WHO classification after the intervention. Model 1: unadjusted; Model 2: adjusted for age; Model 3: adjusted for age and body weight at baseline; Model 3: adjusted for age, body weight at baseline, and fat mass at baseline

A p-value in bold type denotes a significant difference (p < 0.05)

VLCK Very low-calorie ketogenic diet, MCTs Medium chain fatty acids, BMI body mass index, OR odds ratios, CI confidence interval
