Physiological parameters
BLOOD
Both at baseline and in the follow‐up assessment, weight (kg), height, and waist circumference (cm) were measured the same day and just before the psychological assessment. Blood tests were conducted to evaluate the levels of total cholesterol (as well as high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) and low‐density lipoprotein), triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase, glucose, and glycated haemoglobin. The blood test was performed in the morning (8–9 am), and all participants had fasted for 8 h prior to the test. Vital signs such as diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure were also assessed. To evaluate vital signs, we used a vascular screening system (VaSera VS‐1500).
