| Quality of Life | Ferrous Bisglycinate Plus Folinic Acid | Control | P1 | P2 | P3 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline | 3 Months | 6 Months | Baseline | 3 Months | 6 Months | ||||
| QOL-score | 3.13 ± 0.45 a | 3.03 ± 0.44 b | 2.93 ± 0.47 c | 2.96 ± 0.42 a | 2.83 ± 0.38 b | 2.69 ± 0.38 c | 0.039 | 0.013 | 0.004 |
Values are means ± SD. Means in a row with superscript letters without a common letter differ within group; significant differences at p < 0.05. P1 = Comparison of mean between the two groups at baseline; P2 = Comparison of means between the two groups at 3 months after supplementation; P3 = Comparison of means between the two groups at 6 months after supplementation; significant differences at p < 0.05.
