p-value < 0.05, ∗∗p-value < 0.01, ∗∗∗p-value < 0.001, calculated using a multiple linear regression analysis between body weight change and selected physiological tests after adjusting for age, gender, intervention group, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, regular exercise habit, and metabolic syndrome other than stratified variable per se.

1. Δ Change was calculated by subtracting the post-test values from the pre-test values; 2. Abbreviations: SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; TC: total cholesterol; LDL: low density lipid; TG: triglyceride; 3. Parameter estimate (95% CI).
