  1. Significance of intervention status on change in outcome from baseline was tested using multiple linear regression for continuous variables and multiple logistic regression for dichotomous variables. All p-values presented are from models adjusted for the baseline value of the dependent variable
  2. aCalculated using baseline age and assuming a moderate level of physical activity
