Table 1 shows the demographic characteristics of females in the FHN and FHP groups. The two groups did not differ in terms of race, body mass index, education, and depression scores at screening. The FHP group tended to be slightly older than the FHN group and had small, but statistically higher anxiety scores at initial screening than FHN women.
