Sample size (n=) is provided for each outcome. BMI - body mass index; TBF% - total body fat percentage; VAT - visceral adipose tissue; HDL-C - high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C – low density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG -Triglyceride; HOMA – Homeostatic model assessment; IS – Insulin sensitivity; IR – Insulin resistance. TBF% was entered as a covariate for the specific insulin, β-cell function, HOMA-IS and HOMA-IR outcomes.
