claimMethods Secondary analysis was conducted using untargeted metabolomics to assess fasting serum metabolite profiles at baseline (preintervention) and 6 months (postintervention) in a subset of participants with abdominal obesity from the HAT (Habitual Diet and Avocado Trial), who were randomized to the avocado group (n = 120; 70% women; 49 ± 13 years of age; body mass index 33.1 ± 5.7 kg/m 2 ).
