Data represent mean ± SD; p value LMM, significance between groups in linear mixed model testing assessing treatment × time interaction; † = p < 0.05 between groups at baseline; * = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01; *** = p < 0.001 within the group from baseline to final examination. 1 Estimated skeletal muscle mass according to Kim et al. [33]. Bold numbers represent statistical significance of the primary endpoint.
