*Student paired t test used for continuous variables, and McNemar's test used for categorical variables (calculated only for participants who had completed all 3 measurements).
†Mean difference = mean after 3 mo - mean at baseline.
‡Mean difference = mean after 12 mo - mean at baseline.
¶Baseline was the reference in the calculations of RR.
