MVPA, moderate-vigorous physical activity

a

Values are unadjusted means (SD) or n (%) for the dichotomous outcome of loss of 0.25 zBMI based on observed (non-imputed) cases.

b

Adjusted for child sex, race/ethnicity, age, and baseline value of the outcome.

c

Models compared change in the home-delivered treatment to the reference category clinic-delivered group, with multiple imputation for missing values, adjusted for child sex, race/ethnicity, age, and baseline value of the outcome. Values are coefficients (standard error) for continuous outcomes, and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for the dichotomous outcome of loss of 0.25 zBMI.

d

Family Nutrition and Physical Activity total score, with lower scores (possible range: 20–80) being less favorable.

e

Lifestyle Behavior Checklist

f

Possible range: 24–168

g

Possible range: 7–49

h

Possible range: 5–35
