  • * The other variables in the equation were baseline value, male indicator, and growth trend.

  • N = 32 for weight, body mass index, and height; n = 22 for physical activity.

  • Per 3-month period after intervention.

  • § One-sided for weight and body mass index (BMI); 2-sided for all other variables.

  • Shift from low metabolic equivalents (METs) to high METs significant at P = .037; see text for details.

  • SDE, standard deviation of the estimate (sometimes called standard error).
