Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
feasibility and acceptance will be measured by questionnaire-based interviews	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The changes in the outcomes weight status, metabolic biomarkers, blood lipids and blood pressure will be examined as follows: - Measurements of body weight by a personal scale and of waist circumference by a measuring tape at the beginning and at the end of the study course (after 3 months) - Fasting blood sampling and laboratory analysis of glucose markers (fasting glucose, HbA1c) and of blood lipids (triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL) at the beginning and at the end of the study course (after 3 months) - Oral glucose tolerance tests (oGTT) with blood sampling at T1=0 min, T2= 30 min, T3=120 min to measure blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide at the beginning and at the end of the study course (after 3 months) - Semi-automated measurements of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate (OMRON) in triplicates and in intervals of 3 minutes with suitable cuffs and after an appropriate resting time at the beginning and at the end of the study course (after 3 months)	—
