Post- intervention effects on cardiometabolic risk factors in not at-risk versus at-risk children.

At-risk is defined for each outcome separately as: physical inactivity for total and in-school MVPA, overweight or obesity for BMI-for-age, elevated blood pressure or hypertension for MAP, pre- or diabetes for HbA1c, pre- or dyslipidemia for TC:HDL. Mixed linear regression were applied. All outcomes have been controlled for baseline outcome, age, sex and SES using class as random effects; BMI-for-age has not been controlled for age and sex; total and school MVPA have been further controlled for wear-time. Bias-corrected and accelerated (BCa) and 1,000 replicates bootstrap adjusted results.

a

Moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity.

b

Body mass index.

c

Mean arterial pressure.

d

Glycated haemoglobin.

e

Total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein ratio.

Bold values indicate statistical significance.
