PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: one year

Population: Only 48 participants completed the body composition, blood pressure and hematology assessments, and were included in analysis.

Descriptive frequency of the number of cardiovascular risk factors aggregated in each participant. The risk factors considered were: (i) hypertension; (ii) obesity; and (iii) dyslipidemia.
