  2. bOutcomes were log-transformed; descriptives for these outcomes are median and interquartile range, and estimates are ratios of geometric means (approximately ratios of medians)
  3. All other outcomes are mean and standard deviation, and estimates are differences of means
  4. cOutcomes were modelled using Tobit regression due to presence of values above and/or below detection limits
  5. CRP C-reactive protein, HDL high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, NEFA non-esterified fatty acids, LDL low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
