The observations for blood pressure were reduced due to missing data; waitlisted participants followed up n=27, LTF n=18, active participants LTF n=20. The observations for pathology results were reduced due to missing data; waitlisted participants followed up n=23, LTF n=6, active participants LTF n=15.

* Observation reduced by one. LDL value missing – invalid as triglyceride concentration was > 4.5 mmol/L.

# Observation reduced by one. CRP was > 100 mg/L indicating bacterial infection.
