Increases in body mass index (BMI) (a measure of weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) and the equivalent weight in kilograms from baseline to follow-up in the quartiles of weight gain in the conventionally and intensively treated groups.

Distribution of lipoprotein cholesterol across nonequilibrium density gradient (from very low-density lipoprotein [VLDL], intermediate density lipoprotein [IDL], low-density lipoprotein [LDL], to high-density lipoprotein [HDL]) ultracentrifugation comparing the fourth quartile with the first quartile of weight gain with conventional therapy (A) and difference plot of mean cholesterol levels of each fraction with 95% confidence interval (B).
