Mean ± standard deviation are reported if applicable. We reported waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) for males and females separately as the cut-off for distinguishing healthy weight and overweight groups are different between biological sexes. Information that showed significant between-group differences based on two-sample t test (for continuous variables) or chi-squared test (for discrete variables) are reported with asterisks.
