  1. Changes imply for after minus before. Intragroup analysis: p-values* were reported based on Paired sample t-test and Wilcoxon test
  2. Between group comparison for crude model: p-values** were reported based on Mann–Whitney test for quantitative variables and chi-square test for qualitative variables
  3. Between group comparison for adjusted model (age, baseline BMI, physical activity changes, energy intake changes, and baseline values of the variable): p-values*** were reported based on non-parametric ANCOVA for quantitative variables
  4. BMI body mass index, WC waist circumference, HC hip circumference, WHR waist-hip ratio, ICO index of central obesity, TG triglyceride, TC total cholesterol, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, VLDL-C very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Non-HDL-C subtracting HDL-C value from TC, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure
