Note. Values only include participants who completed post-intervention survey. Change reflects the median change within participants from baseline to post-intervention. Mdn=median, LL=lower limit, UL=upper limit, TCC=Tai Chi Chi, HEC=Health Education, MCS=Mental Component Summary scale, PCS=Physical Component Summary. Higher scores indicate better functioning.
