Adjusted Differences in z Scores (BMI-for-Age) and Relative Differences in Total Time Spent Outdoors at Age 10 and 12 Years: The Kidskin Study, Australia, 1995–2001
| 10 Years (95% CI) | 12 Years (95% CI) | |
| Adjusted absolute difference, z score (BMI-for-age)a | n = 1423 | n = 1100 |
| Control group | Reference | Reference |
| Moderate-intervention group | 0.01 (−0.12, 0.14) | 0.05 (−0.09, 0.20) |
| High-intervention group | −0.08 (−0.22, 0.06) | −0.11 (−0.27, 0.05) |
| Adjusted relative difference, total time spent outdoorsb | n = 1177 | n = 921 |
| Control group | Reference | Reference |
| Moderate-intervention group | 1.0 (0.87, 1.15) | 0.94 (0.81, 1.09) |
| High-intervention group | 0.90 (0.78, 1.05) | 0.98 (0.83, 1.15) |
Note. BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval. The number of children available for analysis in Tables 1 ▶ and 2 differs because of missing data in the confounders.
aAdjusted for gender, ethnicity, parental educational level, and z score at baseline.
bAdjusted for gender, ethnicity, parental educational level, tendency to sunburn, and total time spent outdoors at baseline. was addressed by the objectives and design of the intervention.
