  1. 1 Multivariate effects were found on group (p = 0.005), gender (p = 0.01) and age at study p = 0.04). *p = 0.01 and **p = 0.04: difference between adults with unsuccessful clinical outcome and the control group (based on univariate F-tests according to MANOVA by group, gender, age). PF: physical functioning; SF: social functioning; RP: role limitations due to physical problems; RE: role limitations due to emotional problems; MH: mental health; VT: vitality; BP: bodily pain; GH: general health perceptions.
