  1. a Variables were compared using t independent test; b variables were compared using Mann–Whitney U test. Percentages are compared using Chi-square. * Stands for P < 0.05. ** Stands for P < 0.01. Comparison between in two groups of normal and overweight or obese; P < 0.05 was considered to be significant
