PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Four Months

Population: The number of participants were those subjects in the modified intent-to-treat population (defined as subjects with at least one post baseline DEXA for LBM) who had baseline and 4 month DEXA results for LBM (observed cases).

Change in total body lean mass as measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)from baseline to 4 months.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Four Months

Population: The subjects were in the MITT population (had a post baseline DEXA) and had a month 4 stair climb assessment (observed cases).

Change in stair climb power from baseline to 4 months. Stair climb power is defined power (watts)=\[9.8 m/sec\*\*2\]\*\[weight (kg)\]\*\[height of 12 steps(meters)\]/ \[time (seconds) up the 12 steps\].
