a
Nutrition Quality of life (NQOL).
b
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
c
Cramér's V coefficient (CV) estimate is in the parentheses. Reported only for statistically significant (at least at the 5 % level) cases.
d
HbA1c refers to glycated haemoglobin.
e
Body mass index (BMI) weight-for-height (kg/m2).
f
Aggregated waist circumference groups (Desirable: ≤102 cm (male) and ≤88 cm (female); Undesirable: >102 cm (male) and >88 cm (female)).
g
History of Medical Nutrition Therapy (HMNT).
*
P-value < 0⋅05 indicates statistical significance at the 5 % level.
