Values are means ± SD; for mean change the results were expressed as means ± SD and 95% confidence intervals.

NGLCD normoglucidic low-calorie diet, LFD low-fat diet, WC waist circumference, BMI body mass index, HDL high density lipoproteins, FPG fasting plasma glucose, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure.

All p < 0.005 for within group change from baseline to 12 months; All p >0.05 for difference between groups at baseline and 12 months.
