Anthropometry and vascular measurements at baseline and five-year follow-up in obese/overweight and lean controls.

*<p> = p<0.05, † = p<0.01, ‡ = p<0.001 represents differences between baseline and follow-up within groups, p-values presented as numbers in the last column represents difference in change from baseline to follow-up between groups.</p><p>Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used for related samples, Independent samples median test was used for between – groups comparison.
