BMI, body mass index; WHR, weight to hip ratio; WC, waist circumference; HC, hip circumference; TG, triglyceride; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; TC, total cholesterol; FBS, fasting blood sugar; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; TMAO, trimethylamine N-Oxide; KYN, kynurenine. Quantitative variables as means (±SD) obtained from the independent t-test. Qualitative variables N (%) obtained from the chi-square analysis. P-value < 0.05 were considered significant, bolding in Table. P-value* for adjustment model, based on age, energy intake, physical activity, sex and BMI.
