  1. Data are expressed as number (percent) for categorical variables and as mean ± SD for continuous variables in case of normal distributions and median (interquartile range) otherwise
  2. P values were calculated with unpaired Student’s t-test (when satisfying a normal distribution) or Mann–Whitney U test (when not satisfying a normal distribution) for continuous variables, and χ2 test for categorical variables
  3. BMI body mass index, DBP diastolic blood pressure, FBG fasting blood glucose, N number of participants, PA physical activity, SBP systolic blood pressure, TC total cholesterol
