Category thresholds for diabetes duration, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared), hemoglobin A1c, weight change, and fitness change are based on tertiles of the overall sample. Multivariable analyses adjust for intervention group and all variables in the table. Available case analysis is based on sample sizes expressed in second column.
