Physical performance score ranged from 3 (scoring in the lowest 10% for all three measures) to 30 (scoring in the highest 10% for all three measures).

a

Adjusted for clinic latitude and season.

b

Adjusted for model 1 plus age, chronic conditions, BMI, race/ethnicity, time walked outside, HT trial arm, DM trial arm.

NA, not applicable.
