^* Significant at p-value < 0.05; ^** Significant at p-value < 0.001

^aNutrient intake change: baseline nutrient per 1000 kcal – nutrient at 6 months per 1000 kcal

^bBody fat change (body fat loss): baseline body fat mass – body fat mas at 6 months

^cThe model was adjusted for age, household income, baseline body fat and baseline investigated nutrient per 1000 kcal intake
