Changes in Body mass index (BMI) i |
When measuring height, the subjects are required to take off their shoes, hats, and coats, keep their feet together in an upright position, keep their shoulders, head, and heels close to the ruler, and look straight ahead with the right-angle plate close to the top of the head. The measurement standard of height is accurate to 0.1cm. When measuring body weight, the subjects are required to take off their shoes, hats, and single clothes for measurement and the measurement standard of body weight is accurate to 0.1kg. Body mass index (BMI) is calculated by dividing body weight (kg) by the square of height (m2). All measurements will be performed by trained staff. |
At 12th week after the intervention. |
|
Secondary |
Changes in fasting blood glucose. |
Fasting blood glucose will be uniformly implemented in the Laboratory. |
At 12th week after the intervention. |
|
Secondary |
Changes in waist circumference. |
When measuring the waist circumference, the subjects were required to wear thin underwear, and the researchers used a soft ruler to measure the midpoint of the line connecting the highest point of the iliac crest and the lower edge of the 12th rib around the abdomen in the horizontal direction, and the measurement of waist circumference was accurate to 0.1cm. All measurements are performed by trained staff. |
At 12th week after the intervention. |

Secondary |
Changes in insulin resistance index. |
The steady-state model assessment method will be used to calculate homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. |
At 12th week after the intervention. |

Secondary |
Changes in waist-to-hip ratio. |
When measuring the waist circumference, the subjects were required to wear thin underwear, and the researchers used a soft ruler to measure the midpoint of the line connecting the highest point of the iliac crest and the lower edge of the 12th rib around the abdomen in the horizontal direction, and the measurement of waist circumference was accurate to 0.1cm. When measuring the hip circumference, the subjects are required to wear thin underwear, and a soft ruler is required to measure the circumference of the most protruding part backwards around the buttocks to the nearest 0.1cm. The waist-to-hip ratio is calculated by dividing the waist circumference by the hip circumference. All measurements are performed by trained staff. |
At 12th week after the intervention. |
|
Secondary |
Changes in abdominal circumference. |
When measuring the abdominal circumference, the subjects were required to wear thin underwear and measured the circumference around the abdomen with a soft tape through the point of the iliac crest, measured to an accuracy of 0.1 cm. |
At 12th week after the intervention. |

Secondary |
Changes in Blood triglycerides |
will be tested by the Laboratory. |
At 12th week after the intervention. |

Secondary |
Changes in total cholesterol |
will be tested by the Laboratory. |
At 12th week after the intervention. |
|
Secondary |
Changes in low-density lipoprotein?high-density lipoprotein |
will be tested by the Laboratory. |
At 12th week after the intervention. |
|
Secondary |
Changes in body fat percentage. |
Body fat percentage will be tested using an body composition analyzer manufactured in Korea. Before the measurement, the subjects will be required to have an empty stomach and instructed to empty their urine and bowels. The subjects will be asked to use 75% alcohol gauze to wipe their hands and feet to make them fully contact the electrode surface of the analyzer after taking off their socks. Then researchers having training before will enter the patient's personal information on the body composition analyzer computer, and press the finish and start buttons next to get the body fat percentage measurement result. |
At 12th week after the intervention. |
|
Secondary |
Changes in subcutaneous fat volume. |
Specialized researchers used Dutch made Philips magnetic resonance imaging to scan the abdomen and upper part of the pelvis of the subjects. The scanning was performed using body coils, and after a period of adaptation, the subjects were scanned in a fixed ambient temperature in the scanning room. Based on the open-source image processing software from Harvard Medical School in the United States, semi-automatic image segmentation is performed on fat images to obtain subcutaneous fat volume, respectively; Based on open-source image processing software in the United States, the average value represents the fat fraction of the liver. |

Secondary |
Changes in the relative abundance of gut microbiota. |
At baseline and at the end of the trial, researchers will collect fecal samples from participants, all of which will be frozen and stored in a refrigerator. After the experiment, the fecal samples will be sent to Hangzhou Lianchuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. to extract total fecal DNA. 16S rDNA sequencing technology will be used to detect the relative abundance of intestinal microorganisms. |
