3.5.1. Body Composition as Assessed with Body Impedance Analysis (BIA) including Primary Parameter (Body Fat Mass (BFM))
The alteration during intervention ∆(V3-V1) in the primary parameter, BFM (kg), in the FAS population was normally distributed, with The alteration (∆) in BFM (kg) during intervention was significantly (The alteration in visceral adipose tissue (VATThe alteration in fat-free mass (FFM) (kg) during intervention did not significantly differ among the groups (After significance (Applying the ANCOVA test to BFM (kg) at visit V3 with covariate BFM (kg) at V1 as an alternative attempt to using the difference ∆(V3-V1) among groups confirmed the significant difference among groups (∆ BFM (kg) in the PP population was evaluated using ANOVA due to normally distributed data. The results confirmed those in the FAS population. ∆ BFM (kg) significantly (ANCOVA at V3 with baseline (V1) values as the covariate also showed a significant difference among groups (In order to achieve a full ITT population, the missing values of dropout subjects were replaced with the mean values of the corresponding group data, since data were normally distributed. In line with the results in the FAS and PP populations, ANOVA showed a significant (ANCOVA adjusted for baseline values was also in line with the results in the FAS and PP populations, showing a significant (
