Summary

This study investigates the gender-specific effects of diet and physical activity on metabolic parameters in a cohort of adults. The study involved a 6-month intervention based on a Mediterranean-style diet and regular physical activity, with the primary objective of assessing changes in body composition, fasting glucose, lipid profiles, and liver enzymes. Participants were stratified by gender to evaluate whether men and women exhibit different metabolic responses to the intervention. The results aim to provide insights into personalized nutritional recommendations based on gender differences.
