a

Estimates from four linear mixed effects models for each outcome (%DBV and ADBV) including clinic site as a random effect and leisure time physical activity estimates as fixed effects. Adolescent and young adulthood leisure time physical activity estimates are modeled separately without mutual adjustment.

b

Estimates from four linear mixed effects models as described above under ‘a’ plus including treatment group, race [white (0) or. non-white (1)], education [did not attend (0) or. attended (1) 4 year college], smoking status [former/never (0) or current (1)], days until next menses (cubic spline), duration of oral contraceptive use, and parity [none (0) or ≥1 (1)] as fixed effects.

c

Estimates from four linear mixed effects models as described above under ‘b’ plus including BMI z-score at 8–10 years old and adult BMI.

d

Proportion of variance explained by model.

e

Principal component score includes high school, post high school, and past year leisure time physical activity estimates.
