SD, standard deviation.
*Mean value was significantly different between males and females by Student T- test (P < 0.05).
**Mean value was significantly different from the young group (12.5-14.9 y) by Student T- test (P < 0.05).
aMean value was significantly different from underweight by ANOVA, (P < 0.05, Bonferroni correction.
bMean value was significantly different from normal weight by ANOVA, (P < 0.05, Bonferroni correction).
cMean value was significantly different from overweight by ANOVA, (P < 0.05, Bonferroni correction).
