---|---|---|---|
Age (y) | 69.3 (3.2) | 68.0 (2.3) | 0.588 |
Weight (kg) | 67.6 (15.9) | 80.1 (10.7) | 0.066 |

Note: values are presented as a percentage for sex distribution and medians (interquartile range, IQR) for the other variables; * significance was tested by chi-squared test (sex distribution) and by Mann–Whitney U test (the other variables); (BMI = body mass index, NMES = neuromuscular electrical stimulation group, CG = control group).
