Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Insulin resistance. Timepoint: Assessment of insulin resistance before the intervention, 3 months, and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Blood test using ELISA kit (HOMA-IR index).;Mean glycated hemoglobin. Timepoint: Evaluation of mean glycosylated hemoglobin levels before the start of the intervention, 3 months, and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Blood test using ELISA kit (glycated hemoglobin).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame

Timepoint: Mean systolic blood pressure levels (millimeters of mercury) before the intervention, 3 months, and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Calibrated digital sphygmomanometer.;Mean changes in diastolic blood pressure (millimeters of mercury). Timepoint: Mean diastolic blood pressure levels (millimeters of mercury) before the intervention, 3 months, and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Calibrated digital sphygmomanometer.;Mean serum triglyceride levels (milligrams per deciliter). Timepoint: Mean Serum triglyceride levels (milligrams per deciliter) before the intervention, 3 months, and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Blood test using enzymatic colorimetric assay kits.;Mean serum total cholesterol levels (milligrams per deciliter). Timepoint: Mean serum total cholesterol levels (milligrams per deciliter) before the intervention, 3 months, and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Blood test using enzymatic colorimetric assay kits.;Mean serum LDL-C levels (milligrams per deciliter). Timepoint: Mean serum LDL-C levels (milligrams per deciliter) before the intervention, 3 months, and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Blood test using direct enzymatic assay kits.;Mean serum HDL-C levels (milligrams per deciliter). Timepoint: Mean serum HDL-C levels (milligrams per deciliter) before the intervention, 3 months, and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Blood test using homogeneous enzymatic assay kits.;Mean serum BUN levels (milligrams per deciliter). Timepoint: Mean serum BUN levels (milligrams per deciliter) before the intervention, 3 months, and 6 months after the intervention.
