aUnadjusted mean [SD] were presented for baseline and post-intervention measures
bAdjusted change means and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) are the differences among intervention groups relative to control group by linear mixed model adjusted for baseline value, gender and age
cAdjusted differences in groups vs. in diet only group, P < 0.05
dAdjusted differences in groups vs. in control group, P < 0.05
