Body composition, blood pressure and other cardiovascular biomarkers in relation to equol-producer and <i>O</i>-DMA-producer phenotypes.

Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Skewed variables or variables with heterogeneity in variance (serum glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol and high sensitivity C-reactive protein) were corrected by log transformation and reported arithmetic means± standard deviation. T-test was applied for continuous variables. BMI indicates body mass index; WC indicates waist circumference; HC indicates hip circumference; WHR indicates waist to hip ratio; DBP and SBP indicates diastolic and systolic blood pressure; FG indicates fasting glucose; TC indicates total cholesterol; TG indicates triglycerides; HDL-C indicates HDL-cholesterol; LDL-C indicates LDL-cholesterol; hs-CRP indicates high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; FFA indicates free fatty acid; *indicates significant difference between producers and non-producers by t-test (unadjusted P<0.05). #indicates significant difference between producers and non-producers by general linear model (GLM) (adjusted P<0.05); P’ adjusted is derived from GLM by adjustment for potential confounders. For markers of body composition and blood pressure, the adjusted variables include age, menopausal year, sports physical activity, dietary energy, fat and isoflavones; For other CVD biomarkers, the adjusted variables include age, menopausal years, sports physical activity, dietary energy, fat, isoflavones and BMI.
