Multitreatment approach

12 months regimen consisting of group meetings every 2 weeks involving a physician, psychologist, physiotherapist and clinical nutritional physiologist. 21 h treatment during the first 3 months: 3 activity sessions (3 h) and 3 group conversations (4 h). Attendance inclusion criterium was set to minimum of 80%
