BCS body condition score

^ap value obtained by the chi-square test.

^bOwner waist/hip ratio classified by health disease risk as low risk (< 0.91 men; < 0.76 women); moderate risk (0.90–0.96; 0.76–0.83) and high risk (> 0.97 men; > 0.82 women)^20,21.

^cOwner waist/height ratio classified by cardiovascular disease not at risk (< 0.52) and at risk (> 0.52)^20,21.

^dOwner abdominal circumference classified by health disease risk at risk (≥ 94 cm men; ≥ 80 cm women)^20,21.
