Month 0: measurements at baseline; Month 1: measurements after 1 month of intervention.

cChange = Month 1 minus Month 0.

dA repeated measure analysis of variance (ANCOVA) was used to evaluated the interaction effect for group by time.

eBetween group differences were compared using the Mann–Whitney U-test.

NS: No significant.
