1 Values expressed as mean (SDs). Mean differences (95% IC). Comparisons between groups with one-way ANOVA and comparisons between groups after 3 months of intervention with ANCOVA adjusted for baseline levels of each variable. * Significant differences between baseline and after 3 months (p < 0.05).
