SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 and 18 months

Population: Cycle ergometry test was not completed for those who completed data collection off-site where no bicycle ergometer was available. Results are not modeled.

Minutes cycled during standardized cycle ergometry testing protocol; higher number of minutes cycled indicates better outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at baseline, 6 and 18 months

Population: Only included data for those participants who had all variables in calculation equation. Not modeled

Higher score indicates greater cardiovascular risk. The score can range from 0-38 with higher scores yielding increased 10-year probability of stroke

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 and 18 months

Population: Reported for those who completed this measure at these follow-up data points.

Health status reported for the SF-12 in two subscales-physical component summary (PCS) and the mental component summary (MCS). Subscale score ranges from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better physical or mental health.
