Figure Lengend Snippet: Waist circumference across the four weight-status groups (A–D). Boxplots display the median and interquartile range, with whiskers indicating the minimum and maximum values. Crosses (+) represent mean values, and dots indicate outliers. Statistically significant between-group differences are indicated in the figure ( p < 0.05). Data were analysed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn's post-hoc test with correction for multiple comparisons.
