N = Number of participants with weight data; sustained weight loss presented as n (%) of N. Reported weight summarized using the mean ± SD. Adjusted means are based on estimated trajectory scores at each assessment derived from the random coefficients regression model for repeated measurements, while the unadjusted means are provided for the evaluable cases. The P-values for sustained weight loss are based on the overall 2 × 3 Fisher’s exact test at each assessment, while the P-value for weight are for the group-by-time2 interactions evaluated using random coefficients regression models for repeated measurements. A priori pairwise comparisons results were as follows:

a

: control = promotion = prevention;

b

: promotion = control, prevention > control, promotion = prevention.
