Outcomes adjusted for gender and baseline value of the outcome, except for DXA, which also was adjusted for time. Within group changes denoted with (λ p < 0.05); between group intervention changes denoted with (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01). WL, weight loss; WS, weight stable; DXA, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance.
