  1. The table shows B coefficients (95% CI) and p-value. Changes (6 months-baseline), n = 60. Abbreviation: BDI, Beck Depression Inventory; CRP, C-reactive protein.
  2. Model 1: Adjusted by sex, age and dietary group. Model 2: Model 1 additionally adjusted for changes in activity level. Model 3: Model 1 additionally adjusted for changes in body fat (kg).
