↵* 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).
