a

Estimated marginal means adjusted for menopausal status and hormone replacement therapy use.

b

P-values calculated from linear regression models for the mean change from baseline comparing intervention and control groups, adjusted for menopausal status and hormone replacement therapy use.

c

The changes from baseline to 3 and 6 months do not match the difference of the adjusted means for two reasons: 1) in some of the comparisons there are differences in the number of participants included, and 2) the regression model used to assess the differences between groups uses a calculated difference for each participant and thus the mean differences will be slightly different than the differences between the group means.
