As shown in Table 2 , after collapsing the two treatment groups, there were statistically significant correlations between FMD and waist circumference ( r = −0.27, p < 0.01), triglycerides ( r = −0.27, p < 0.01), and leptin ( r = 0.42, p < 0.001) at baseline and a marginally significant relationship with weight ( r = −0.18, p = 0.05).
