Data are median (25th, 75th percentiles) or means ± SD unless otherwise indicated.
Baseline values are not significantly different among different diet groups.
Control diet is a diet similar to what most Tehranians usually eat.
Weight-reducing diet is a diet with 500 kcal less than caloric needs, emphasizing healthy food choice.
DASH diet, a diet increased in fruit, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products and reduced in saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol.
P values are results from Friedman’s test among baseline after 3- and 6-month values. WC, waist circumference.
