  1. Kruskal Wallis and Mann–Whitney U-test were applied to compare HRQOL changes classified by percent of weight change. Different letters showed significant differences in the percentage change of HRQOL in the same group (p < 0.01)
  2. The Mann–Whitney U-test was used to compare the differences between cases and controls
  3. Significant difference (p < 0.01)
