Body mass and body composition
MM, FM
Body weight (BW) and body composition were measured immediately after collecting salvia and blood samples. BW was assessed using a digital scale (Etekcity EB4074C, Anaheim, CA, United States of America), with participants wearing only underwear and no shoes or socks. TBW, FFM, MM, and FM were analyzed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA 101, Akern, Firenze, Italy). BIA 101 Akern is a valid and reliable alternative method to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for verification of body composition [
