BF%; body fat percentage; BFM: body fat mass; BMI: body mass index; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; FFM: fat free mass; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA; homeostatic model assessment; hs-CRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein cholesterol; MIND: Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay; PA: physical activity; SBP: systolic blood pressure; SD: Standard Deviation; T: tertile; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride
  2. P value: ANOVA test was used
  3. (P value)*: ANCOVA was performed to adjusted potential confounding factors (age, energy intake, Physical activity, BMI), BMI consider as collinear variable for anthropometrics and body composition variables
  4. Chi-square was used for categorical variables
  5. P-values < 0.05 were considered as significant
  6. Values are represented as means ± SD.
  7. *categorical variables: N(%)
