The repeated measure ANOVA for group×time interaction for anthropometrics data after three months follow-up. MIND: Mediterranean-DASH intervention for neurodegenerative delay, TBW: Total body water; PBF: Percent of body fat; FFM: Fat-free mass; BMI: Body mass index; WC: Waist circumferences; HC: Hip circumferences; αF value (df1 for the numerator, df2 for the denominator); βPartial eta squared for the ratio of variance associated with an effect; €P value for differences between groups; £P value for differences within groups.
