  1. 1 Data were obtained from all four dietary groups over the treatment weeks 3–12 for a total number of 210 individual measurements of plasma glucose and seizure susceptibility.
  2. 2 Df, degrees of freedom.
  3. 3 B, Estimate of the association between glucose and seizure susceptibility.
  4. 4 The estimated error of the mathematical weighting, indicating the precision of the estimated coefficient.
  5. 5 The Wald test statistic was computed from the data compared by using x2 distribution with 1 degree of freedom. The test statistic is used to determine the p value.
  6. 6 The probability of Type I error.
