GM: geometric mean

b

Analyses stratified by weight-loss percentage and using all available data. All models adjusted for age, baseline BMI (<30kg/m2, >30kg/m2), race/ethnicity

Pc: p-value obtained from GEE model comparing the difference in change of the biomarkers from baseline to 12-month in intervention group vs control within strata of percent weight-loss.

dPtrend: p-value obtained from GEE model testing the linear trend in the change of the biomarkers from baseline to 12-month from Control through all levels of percent weight-loss.
