  1. The Baseline reflects all of the female cleaners with observations at baseline, Intention to treat baseline reflects all of the female cleaners with observations at baseline including those with missing observations, for whom values were carried backwards from follow up, and True observations baseline reflect those cleaners with observations at both baseline and follow-up. N = number of participants, n = number of observations, Nm = Newton meter, SD = Standard deviation
