Table 7.

Comparison of the mean Abdominal circumference of patients at various visits within the groups using paired t-test

Abdominal circumference	Mean±SD	Mean±SD	t (P) df=16 a*b	Mean±SD	t (P) df=16 a*c	Mean±SD	t (P) df=16 a*d

	Baseline visit (a)	1^st visit (b)		2^nd visit (c)		3^rd visit (d)
Cases	85.05±9.32	85.29±9.4	–1.515 (0.149)	85.17±9.30	–0.523 (0.608)	84.58±9.21	1.411 (0.177)
Controls	82.05±12.72	82.50±12.34	–2.667 (0.017*)	83.35±12.75	–5.913 (0.001**)	84.26±13.08	–6.811 (0.001**)

P<0.05 is statistically significant, and P<0.001 is statistically highly significant
