Body weight and height were measured with an electronic anthropometry measuring device (BSM370, BioSpace, Seoul, Korea) to the nearest 0.01 kg and 0.01 cm, respectively; and BMI was calculated as weight/height2 (kg/m2). Waist circumference (WC) was measured midway between the lowest rib and iliac crest in the standing position using a circumference measuring tape (SECA200, SECA, Hamburg, Germany). The percentages of total body fat, trunk fat, and lean body mass were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry [(DXA); Hologic Delphi W, Bedford, MA, USA], and all DXA scans were analyzed with QDR software version 12.6. Blood pressure was measured by digital sphygmomanometer (EASY X800, Jawon Medical, Seoul, Korea) after 10-minute chair-rest.
