1 Data were obtained from all four dietary groups over the treatment weeks 3–12 for a total number of 210 individual measurements of plasma glucose and seizure susceptibility.

2 Df, degrees of freedom.

3 B, Estimate of the association between glucose and seizure susceptibility.

4 The estimated error of the mathematical weighting, indicating the precision of the estimated coefficient.

5 The Wald test statistic was computed from the data compared by using x2 distribution with 1 degree of freedom. The test statistic is used to determine the p value.

6 The probability of Type I error.
