  1. Data are expressed as median and quartiles. The P value presents the differences by seasons. BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; TP, total protein; Alb, albumin; TBil, total bilirubin; DBil, direct bilirubin; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; Glu: glucose; UA: uric acid; Cr, creatinine
