Table 3 Association of dietary TAC values (as independent variable) and glucose and lipid profile (as dependent variables) in the participants of the study (n = 266)

From: Dietary total antioxidant capacity is inversely related to central adiposity as well as to metabolic and oxidative stress markers in healthy young adults

  1. aNon-normally distributed variables were log-transformed before regression analyses and, adjusted for study center by residual method.
  2. bModel 1: multivariate linear regression adjusted for gender, age (years), waist circumference (cm), daily energy intake (kcal/d), smoking habit (never or smoker/former), METs (h/week), and vitamin supplement use (Yes/ No). Model 2: multivariate linear regression adjusted for as model 1 plus MUFA: SFA ratio intake.
  3. cData are β-coefficient (95% Confidence Interval). Bold style to significant associations.
  4. dn = 224, for this variable.
  5. TAC, total antioxidant capacity; HOMA-IR, insulin resistance index; TC, total cholesterol; HDL-c, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol; LDL-c, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol; ox-LDL, oxidized low density protein cholesterol; TG, triglycerides.
