Abbreviations: DBP, diastolic blood pressure; F, female; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; M, male; N-WLG, non-weight loss group; SBP, systolic blood pressure; WLG, weight loss group. The body weight decreased by more than 3% in the WLG, whereas the N-WLG lost less than 3% of the body weight at the end of the program. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance followed by Sidak's multiple comparisons test was applied. Significant differences for comparisons between the baseline and after the program are shown as *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 and are highlighted in bold letters. Significant differences between the WLG and N-WLG at baseline are shown as †P<0.05. The data are expressed as the average±s.e.
