Differences among groups of percentage change (∆%) between baseline and follow-up. All parameters are presented as mean ± standard deviation and were compared by Anova Test. Statistical significance was attributed as p < 0.05. LSR: Liver Spleen Ratio. ESMcsa: Erector Spinae Muscle cross-section area.
