WC—waist circumference; WHtR—Waist to Height Ratio, BMI—Body Mass Index, Fat%—Body Fat Percentage. Data is presented as M ± SD; Min-Max. p—probability value calculated using the Kruskal–Wallis test: H (2, N = 133). p1—probability value using the post-hoc test for pairs of ARS levels with significantly different values.
