Data are presented as mean ± SD or median values (25th, 75th percentile). All differences for within-sex comparisons between participants seen in phases 5 and 6 are statistically significant, unless noted (*).
BMI = body mass index; CVD = cardiovascular disease; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; SBP = systolic blood pressure.
