  1. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.D or n (%)
  2. a P value was calculated by generlized linear regression analysis with age, sex and energy intakes
  3. b P value was obtained by Chi-squre test
  4. cData are log transformed prior to analysis
  5. dObesity was defined as those with a BMI ≥95th percentile or ≥25 kg/m2
  6. AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance
