Values are medians (minimum–maximum). Sample sizes are given in Figure 2.

Between-group comparisons are within rows, with the overall P value given in the table. Significant differences between groups are indicated by lower case letters (a, b, or c): those with different letters are significantly different (P<0.05), whereas those sharing the same letter are not.

Significant within-group changes from the first 6 mo are indicated with an asterisk (*).
