| Fecal microbiome analysis | Change from Baseline Fecal microbiome at 2 months | Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Lactobucillius, and A. muciniphila were quantified by quantitative PCR. |
| The change of body mass index (BMI) | Change from Baseline body mass index at 2 months | BMI is a measurement of a person's leanness or corpulence based on their height and weight, and is intended to quantify tissue mass.The body mass index (BMI, kg/m\^2) and body mass (kg) were assessed by InBody770. |
| The change of body fat percentage | Change from Baseline body fat percentage at 2 months | The body fat percentage (%) was assessed by InBody770 |
| The change of body fat mass | Change from Baseline body fat mass at 2 months | The body fat mass (kg) was assessed by InBody770. |
