a. Group differences in change scores for ASC methylation were found from baseline to 3 months (control 0.04% vs. exercise −0.04%, t=−2.71, p=.011). These changes were sustained at 6 months for the exercise group. b. Group differences in change scores for IL-1β were found from baseline to 3 months (control 0.18 pg/mL vs exercise −0.33 pg/mL, t=3.73, p=.001). These changes were sustained at 6 months for the exercise group. c. No group differences in change scores over time were found for IL-18.
*Significant group differences in change from baseline at p<.05
