Note: Subscripts that differ represent significant pairwise differences between the profiles (p < .01). The Bonferroni correction for pairwise comparisons was employed. Means are adjusted to control for age, gender, education, and BMI in all but the BMI comparison. Results based on 1000 bootstrapped samples
