Notes: T0 = baseline; T2 = 17 weeks post-baseline.

a

Means and standard deviation (SD) come from all available data (before the last case was carried forward).

b

Results from intention to treat linear mixed models comparing intervention and comparisons groups (coefficients (b), 95%CI, p value, standardized beta weights(β)), adjusted for baseline level of outcome, age, and sex.

Abbreviation: 95%CI = 95% confidence interval.
