Anthropometric measures, lipids profiles, fasting blood glucose and blood pressure measures were obtained from participants. The mean body mass index (kg/m^2^) for male and female was 22.37 ± 4.09 and 23.20 ± 4.37, respectively. There existed significant differences for anthropometric, metabolic, and blood pres
