Anthropometric parameters were compared across groups with ANOVA test after adjustment for age, sex and general physical activity. Sex was compared with Chi-square test. P value below 0.05 means the difference was statistically significant. BMI: body mass index; ANOVA: analysis of variance. | |||||
