Baseline values are observed means ± SE, and change score values are least squares–adjusted means ± SE from repeated-measures ANCOVAs.

P values for comparison between the groups of changes from baseline to 1 year were calculated with use of mixed-model repeated-measures ANCOVA (with baseline values and sex as covariates) and are reported where the overall P value was <0.05 for the interaction among the groups over time. Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons was used to adjust the P values in the secondary outcomes.

P < 0.001 for comparison of the value at the follow-up time with the baseline value within the group, as calculated with use of mixed-model repeated-measures ANOVA.
