*

Results were obtained from mixed linear model with random intercept of participants nested within family and random intercept of family nested within communities; all values for urinary outcomes were adjusted for age, sex, body mass index at baseline and follow-up, city, and education level.

Comparison of means within each group. Positive values indicate increase from baseline to 12 month follow-up; negative values indicate decrease from baseline to 12 month follow-up.

Comparison between intervention group and control group in changes from baseline to 12 month follow-up. Positive values indicate that intervention group had greater increase or smaller decrease from baseline to 12 month follow-up compared with control group; negative values indicate that intervention group had greater decrease or smaller increase from baseline to 12 month follow-up compared with control group.

Age was defined as natural cubic spline with internal knots at 25th, 50th, and 75th centiles.
