2.3. Anthropometry, Blood Pressure and Metabolic Parameters
BLOOD
At the beginning and over the course of the study, anthropometric data and blood pressure were determined. Blood lipids were measured using a commercially available measuring instrument (Swiss Point of Care, LJ IJsselstein, The Netherlands). Blood sugar levels were assessed in capillary blood obtained from the fingertip by using a finger-stick glucometer before and after standardization and during the intervention.
