  • Data from each phase presented as mean±SD. Δ/phase denotes the mean change (95% CI) when project phase changes increases by one, based on a mixed effect model with fixed effect for phase, random effects for family and person.

  • AChE, erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin; LOQ, limit of quantitation; NGSP, National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program.
