Values are indicated as mean ± standard deviation
Independent sample T-test was applied for groups comparison
BMI body mass index, SLM soft lean mass, FFM fat free mass, SMM skeletal muscle mass, PBF percent of body fat, BFM body fat mass, TBW total body water
*The p < 0.05 was considered as significant
