SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 Months

Physical activity was monitored for 3 weeks before the 3-month visit using tri-axial accelerometers worn on a waist belt. Activity is expressed in vector magnitude units (VMU, the vectorial sum of activity counts in three orthogonal directions) per minute. Mid-day defined as 10AM-4PM.
