a

Each outcome uses the analysis data set with observed baseline and 12-month values — “complete case.” Baseline and 12 months values are unadjusted.

b

n = 252 (n = 123 in the control group and n = 129 in the intervention group). Data were missing for 35 participants.

c

Diabetes-39 scales (11).

d

Poisson zero-inflated model: multiplicative effect — mean number for the intervention group is x times the mean number for the control group.

e

Odds ratio.
