P‐value less than 0.05 was considered significant. P‐value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Values are based on average ± standard deviation or reported percentage. One‐way ANOVA for quantitative data and Chi‐2 test for qualitative data have been used. Subjects in the first tertile of DAQS had DAQs score between (≤1); second tertile: between (1–2); third tertile: between (≥3).
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; FFM, fat‐free mass; FM, fat mass; WC, waist circumference; WHR, waist‐hip ratio.
