Baseline Characteristics of Study Participants With DXA Measurements by Study Group
muscle mass, diabetes, hemoglobin AHeight
TYPE 2 DIABETES
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); DXA, dual energy x-ray absorptiometry; MedDiet, energy-restricted Mediterranean diet; METs, metabolic equivalents.Percentages of fat mass and lean mass were calculated in relation to DXA-derived total body mass (sum of total bone, fat, and muscle mass), whereas the percentage of visceral fat was calculated in relation to total fat mass. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes was used as a dichotomous variable, wherein its presence was defined as previous self-reported diagnosis of diabetes, hemoglobin AHeight (centimeters) was measured without shoes in duplicate using a wall-mounted stadiometer. Population questionnaires validated in Spanish were used to collect data on total leisure-time PA (metabolic equivalent of tasks per minute per week), sedentary behavior (hours per day), total energy intake (kilocalories per day), and alcohol intake (grams per day).
