  1. SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, T-C total cholesterol, LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c, ß standardized regression coefficient, N number, ns not significant, TAR trunk-to-appendicular fat ratio, TLR trunk-to-leg fat ratio
  2. TAR was calculated as trunk fat divided by appendicular fat. TLR was calculated as trunk fat divided by leg fat. Simple regression analysis was used to examine relationships between cardiometabolic parameters (dependent variables) and body fat parameters at baseline (independent variables). P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant
