  1. Statistically significant values are bolded
  2. DOPS dietary obesity prevention score, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, HDL high density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL low density lipoprotein cholesterol, Hb A1C hemoglobin A1C, ALT alanine aminotransferase, AST aspartate aminotransferase
  3. *P values are obtained from one-way ANCOVA after adjusting for age, sex, BMI and dietary energy. 
  4. **P for trend analysis obtained from multinomial logistic regression analysis
