BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; HC, hip circumference; BP, blood pressure, physical functioning (PF), role—physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role—emotional (RE), and mental health (MH). We have highlighted with * the significant differences between baseline and week 12 in each group

All values are presented as mean ± standard deviation, or percentage. Differences were considered statistically significant when p was < 0.05. Significant p values are highlighted in bold
