Demographic characteristics of the study population
Baseline characteristics of the overall population of the study are
presented in Table I. A total of 100 participants were included, with a
median age of 37.5 years (IQR 26-
46) with 60% female, and 24% of participants were above 50 years of
age. Weight differed by age group (P=0.049) and the median BMI
was 28.0 (24.0-34.9)
kg/m2. A greater percentage of female participants
were overweight and obese (50%). There was an age-related increase in
BMI of all participants, but it was not statistically significant
(P=0.089).
