Number of individuals in parentheses. Continuous variables are presented as the mean ± standard deviation and compared using the Kruskal–Wallis test or ANOVA. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square test. HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; AST: alanine aminotransferase; and ALT: aspartate aminotransferase. p-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant.
