n = 7. The difference between interventions was calculated by performing subtraction of the difference between end and baseline of each intervention. (End vs BL) indicated the difference between end and baseline of intervention group. If the result was statistically significant, the difference was shown; if the result was statistically nonsignificant was shown, P > 0.05. Admin, administration; BL, baseline; CG; control group; CMD, cardiometabolic disease; CRP, C-reactive protein; CT, controlled trial; DB, double-blind; FM, fermented milk; HbA1c, glycosylated hemoglobin; I, intervention; IG, intervention group; ITT, intention-to-treat; M, men; n.d., no data; PC, placebo-controlled; PG, parallel, group; PL, placebo; R, randomized; T2D, type 2 diabetes; W, women; —, indicates that the study does not evaluate this parameter.
