“…If studies reported the relevant data only in figures, we used the Web Plot Digitizer ( https://automeris.io/WebPlotDigitizer/ ) for data extraction. For the analyses, data on LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and fasting blood glucose given in milligrams per deciliter were converted to millimoles per liter [ 24 , 25 ] and data on energy intake from kilojoules per day in kilocalories per day [ 26 ]. If the percentage fat mass was reported, we calculated absolute fat mass (in kilograms) if data on body weight were also available.…”
