Baseline characteristics of the analytic sample and the whole
SHELf sample are presented in Table 1. Most women were born in
Australia (71.4%), married (71.4%) and had completed high school
(88.3%).
Participants excluded from complete case analysis (n ¼ 68) did
not significantly differ from those who were included in the final
analytic sample on baseline demographic characteristics other than
age; they were younger compared with those from the analytic
sample [Mean, (Standard Deviation): 39.6 y (10.9) vs 43.7 y (9.9)].
