Table reflects intake of selected nutrients at baseline (5 months), study midpoint (9 months), and endpoint (12 months). After applying Bonferroni’s correction, significance was determined to be p < 0.006. Sample size differed between groups and time points. 5 months: n = 5 (blueberry n = 3, placebo n = 2); 9 and 12 months: n = 39 (blueberry n = 20, placebo n = 19).
