FIRE, REGRESSIONS
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein.SI conversion factor: To convert cholesterol to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0259; glucose to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0555; triglycerides to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0113.Multilevel mixed-effects linear regressions for repeated measures (baseline, 6-month, and 12-month study visits) and study group (intervention vs control) on modified Mediterranean diet score changes at 6-month and 12-month follow-up and between-group differences are adjusted for age, sex, fire department, physical activity, and race and ethnicity but not waist circumference in the corresponding model. Fire stations (52 clusters) and participants (484 firefighters) were specified as random effects parameters.Glucose and lipid profiles were determined using fasting blood samples collected during fire department medical examinations.
