*4.4. Anthropometric and Body Composition Measurements*

Bodyweight, height, and waist circumference were measured using conventional measurements. BMI was calculated as weight (kg)/height<sup>2</sup> (m2). Body composition (total mass, fat mass, visceral mass) was determined using a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanner (GE Lunar Prodigy Bone Densitometer, GE Lunar Healthcare, Madison, WI, USA), and data were analyzed using Lunar Prodigy Advance-enCORE 2010 software version 14.1.
