Tukey HSD post hoc tests revealed that this difference was only significant for the comparison between LMI and HC with an estimated mean difference of 6.41 (SE = 2.29, t(66) = 2.801, p = 0.018), although the comparison between fSBA and HC did show marginal significance (Est = 4.16, SE = 1.75, t(66) = 2.379, p = 0.052).
