IF, intermittent fasting; BMI: body mass index; FM, fat mass; FFM, fat-free mass; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; WMD, weighted mean difference; CI, confidence interval.
Bold indicates statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).
