  1. BMI body mass index, CI confidence interval, WC waist circumference, PBF percentage body fat, SMM skeletal muscle mass
  2. aWithin-group and between-group differences were analyzed using one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with group (intervention versus control) as the independent variable
