Change over time in dietary intakes (loge-transformed) in the intervention group compared with the control group of the MEDIM (‘impact of Migration and Ethnicity on Diabetes in Malmö’) intervention study. The analysis included all individuals with data available for at least two time points

β is a parameter estimate for the interaction term ‘group status’בtime since baseline visit (months)’. The β coefficient indicates percentage change (calculated as 100×exp(β – 1)) in the outcomes per month in the intervention group compared with the control group.
