Abbreviations: —, not assessed; BMI, body mass index; BOV, baseline outcome value; NA, not applicable (unacceptable scale internal consistency); NS, nonsignificant; SE, standard error.

a

Fitness changes = 3 months minus baseline and 6 months minus baseline; steps per day changes = intervention weeks 3–27 minus weeks 1–2. Nonsignificant variables were removed from the model.

b

None of the psychosocial constructs were significant for the calcium, dairy, and fruit and vegetable models.

c

The interviewer-administered psychosocial instruments included measures of self-determination theory (treatment self-regulation for PA and for diet; 15 items each, 4 subscales: amotivation, external regulation, introjection, identification and integration; score range, 30–150 [13]), processes of change for PA (30 items, 10 subscales: stimulus control, social liberation, reinforcement management, helping relationships, counter conditioning, self-liberation, self-reevaluation, environmental reevaluation, dramatic relief, and consciousness raising; score range, 30–150 [14]), and social support from walking group (11 items, 3 subscales: guidance, reliable alliance, reassurance of worth) and from coach for PA (12 items, 3 subscales: guidance, reliable alliance, social integration; score range for both, 23–115 [15]).

d

Included time, age, sex, marital status, education, smoking status, income, baseline BMI, and baseline outcome value. Only significant covariates reported.
