Observed MetS-Z before and after Low-calorie Diet and at Week 52 by Randomization Group. Observed MetS-Z of individual per-protocol participants (black dots) by randomization group at the three visits, before the low-calorie diet (week -8), after the low-calorie diet (week 0), and end of the trial (week 52), presented as box plots. Tops of the boxes indicate the upper quartile; bottom of the box is the lower quartile; white diamonds observed mean; black horizontal line medians; whiskers ± 1.5 times the interquartile range or highest or smallest observation. Box plots overlay MetS-Z quartiles associated with the risk of future diabetes [12] and coronary heart disease [13] compared to the first quartile and adjusted for individual MetS factors. For diabetes, unadjusted risks are also shown in parentheses. MetS-Z metabolic syndrome severity z-score. T2DM type 2 diabetes, CHD coronary heart disease
