Data are expressed as means ± SE for continuous data from n women. Differences between groups were determined by Mann-Whitney nonparametric tests with a statistical significance level of P ≤ 0.05. Categorical data are summarized as counts, and comparisons between normal-weight (NW) and overweight/obese (OW) women were performed with Fisher’s exact test. BMI, body mass index.
