- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The mean serum level of hyperglycemia indices (fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance) in the studied groups. Timepoint: At baseline, 8 weeks and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: FBS and fasting insulin will be measured by spectrophotometry with Alcyon 300 model using the Pars Test Kit, and ELISA method by ELISA kit, respectively.;The mean serum lipid profile (triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL) in the studied groups. Timepoint: At baseline, 8 weeks and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: by spectrophotometry with Alcyon 300 model using the Pars Test Kit, and ELISA method by ELISA.;Mean serum levels of calcium and 25-hydroxy vitamin D in the studied groups. Timepoint: At baseline, 8 weeks and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Calcium by spectrophotometer with Alcyon 300 and using Pars Test Kit; 25-hydroxy vitamin D by Elisa method using ELISA kit.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean scores of anthropometric characteristics (weight, BMI, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio) in the studied groups. Timepoint: At baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: The weight is measured by the Seca scale with a precision of 0.1 kg, height by stadiometer, waist and hip circumference with tape measure, and BMI by dividing the weight (kg) to squared height (meter).;The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure score in the studied groups. Timepoint: At baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 6 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: The blood pressure will be checked by the German mercury barometer.
