Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Anthropometric and biochemical markers measured using the following at baseline and 7 weeks: 1.1. The height and weight of the child measured using a SECA stadiometer (to the nearest 0.1 cm) and a SECA scales (to the nearest 0.1 kg), and body mass index (BMI) was calculated as kilogram per square meter (kg/m2) 1.2. Waist circumference (WC) measured using Lufkin ® metallic tape (to the nearest 1mm) 1.3. LDL and HDL subclasses measured using a venous blood sample obtained after 12 h of fasting processed using the Lipoprint system (Quantimetrix) 1.4. IL-6 measured using an ELISA assay of a venous blood sample was obtained after 12 h of fasting

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Somatometric variables measured using the following at baseline and 7 weeks: 1.1. Blood pressure measured using an Omron® digital baumanometer 1.2. Glucose measured using a venous blood sample obtained after 12 h of fasting processed using enzymatic methods in an autoanalyzer (Spinreact-Spinlab, Model 6002390-412-02) 1.3. Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA IR) measured using an ELISA assay of a venous blood sample was obtained after 12 h of fasting 1.4. Lipid profile measured using a venous blood sample obtained after 12 h of fasting processed using enzymatic methods in an autoanalyzer (Spinreact-Spinlab, Model 6002390-412-02) 1.5. The atherogenic index (AI) calculated as total cholesterol/HDL-C using measurements from a venous blood sample obtained after 12 h of fasting processed using enzymatic methods in an autoanalyzer (Spinreact-Spinlab, Model 6002390-412-02) and the Lipoprint system (Quantimetrix)
