Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation.
*
p value was for a comparison between the enrolled participants and the completed participants in the same intervention arm by independent t-test.
#
p value was for a comparison between the completed control and completed MAE groups by independent t-test. NS, no statistical difference (p > 0.05).
