Unadjusted estimates are based on a one-way ANOVA at 18 months. Model-adjusted estimates control for gender, baseline BMI, and baseline outcome measure. In cases where statistical significance is noted,
indicates E differs significantly from D+E and D, and
indicates D+E differs significantly from E (all pairwise comparisons p<0.0167).
