  1. Absolute change = [(intervention group follow-up) – (intervention group baseline)] – [(control group follow-up) – (control group baseline)]. Relative change = (absolute change / intervention group baseline) × 100%; p value for difference between the intervention and the control groups by MANCOVA adjusting for age, gender, status of diabetes/prediabetes/normoglycemia baseline values of glycemic and lipid variables, length of time having had prior exposure of yoga
