Change in LSM and BMI from baseline to TP12. (a) Change in LSM from baseline to TP12. The ILI group had a more significant decrease in LSM than the control group (1.17 ± 1.93 kPa vs. 0.72 ± 1.78 kPa, respectively). The covariance model showed no significant difference between the two groups in reducing the LSM level (LS mean difference: 0.20 [95% CI: -0.19-0.59] kPa, p = 0.317). (b) Change in BMI from baseline to TP12. The ILI group had a more significant decrease in BMI than the control group (2.68 ± 1.12 kg/m2 vs. 1.21 ± 1.34 kg/m2, respectively). The covariance model showed that the ILI group was significantly better than the control group in reducing the BMI level (LS mean difference: 1.46 [95% CI, -1.09-1.82] kg/m2, p < 0.001)
