Data (mean ± SE) are presented for each sex as absolute change and percent change (%) from baseline at month 6.

a

Differences between sexes, treatment groups, or months for the change scores using an analysis of covariance with the absolute change as the dependent variable and the baseline score acting as the covariate.

b

Change is significantly different from baseline.
