| BMI – body mass index; HDL-C – high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LBW – loss of body weight; LFM – loss fat mass; LSMM – loss skeletal muscle mass; TC – total cholesterol; TG – triglyceride. * The data are expressed as median (range); ** values are based on Mann-Whitney test unless otherwise noted; *** value is based on Fisher’s exact test. | |||
