For the McMaster Family Assessment Device, higher scores indicate lower functioning, and “poor” is added as a prefix to the Subscales to make the table easier to understand.

Note: Correlations with P value < 0.10 are listed. Changes were calculated as (6 months – baseline), so positive correlation indicates the predictor was associated with an increase (or less of a decrease) in outcome measure. Ns differ due to missing data.

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; WBISI, whole body insulin sensitivity index.
