^aHDL-c = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; W/H = waist/hip circumference; TC = total cholesterol.

^bValues are reported as Mean ± Standard deviation or number and percent population (%). The changes within group from baseline to the completion of 36 sessions of cardiac rehabilitation are assessed with paired t-test, and the difference of changes across groups was analyzed by ANCOVA.
