Absolute Change in Weight-Related Parameters after 10 Weeks

	No pedometer (n = 17)	Pedometer only (n = 22)		Pedometer + step goals (n = 45)
	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD	p	Mean ± SD	p
Body weight (kg)	1.12 ± 1.90	0.23 ± 1.87	0.522	−0.49 ± 2.06	0.045
BMI (kg/m2)	0.43 ± 0.82	−0.24 ± 0.78	0.087	−0.37 ± 0.92	0.017
BMI (z-score)	0.01 ± 0.04	−0.03 ± 0.04	0.098	−0.03 ± 0.05	0.012

p-Values are compared with the No-Pedometer group in analysis of covariance models controlling for baseline age and baseline variable (weight, BMI, or BMI z-score).

SD, standard deviation.
