Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients presented for the physical changes related to BMI z-score change. BMI z-score change values calculated as postintervention-preintervention values.

BMI = body mass index, SBP = systolic blood pressure, DBP = diastolic blood pressure, AST = aspartate amino-transferase, ALT = alanine aminotransferase, GGT = gamma-glutamyl transferase, HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
