Anthropometric data of the study groups are shown as means (± SD) and minimums and maximums of age_[y], height_[cm], weight_[kg], BMI_[kg/m²_], calf circumference_[cm], SBP_[mmHg], DBP_[mmHg], grip strength_[N] and grip strength transformed by gender. Significant results of the analysis of variance are presented and marked by an asterisk (*)
