Note: SD = standard deviation; HRQoL = health-related quality of life; PCS = physical component score; MCS = mental component score; ADL = activities of daily living; IG = intervention group; CG = control group; *p-value < .05
a Higher scores indicate better quality of life
b Higher scores indicate better activity of daily living
c Higher scores indicate higher severity of depressive symptoms
