Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Composite primary outcome: Anthropometric indices including height (stadiometer), weight (Tanita BC-418), skinfolds (Holtain skinfold calipers) circumferences (Lufkin PM606 anthropometric tape), lengths (segmometer), and breadths (sliding caliper). [At baseline]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Body composition such as fat mass, fat free mass, and total mass will be measured using BODPOD Body Composition Tracking System and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). [At baseline];Bone health such as bone mineral density and bone mineral content will be measured using DEXA scan (optional). [At baseline];Basal metabolic rate will be measured via indirect calorimetry using a ventilated hood system with the participant resting supine following a 10 hour overnight fast.[At baseline];Fasting blood glucose concentration will be measured by finger-prick method using the Hemocue. A venous blood sample will be collected to measure insulin and lipid profile using the COBAS 4000 analysers (optional). [At baseline]
