Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Weight loss after the intervention, assessed by weight difference between T0 and T1, based on the observation of any variation other than zero over the period.;Cardiometabolic profile improvement after the intervention, assessed by the variations in anthopometric (weight and waist circumference), body composition (bioeletric impedance) and biochemical (blood collection) parameters between T0 and T1, based on the observation of any variation other than zero over the period.;Weight regain 6 months after the end of the intervention, assessed by relative weight regain porcentage, calculated according the folowing equation: (weightT2-weightT1)/(weightT0-weightT1)*100, based on the observation of a variation of at least 10% over the period.;Change in leptin and adiponectin levels (assessed by blood collection and ELISA analysis) after the intervention, based on the observation of any variation other than zero between T0 and T1, and correlation with weight regain 6 months after the end of the intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in food consumption (assessed by 24-hour recall) and physical activity levels (assessed by Baecke questionnaire) after the intervention and 6 months after the end of the intervention, based on the observation of any change other than zero between T0 and T1 and between T1 and T2 periods. | — |
