Analyses controlled for baseline BMI and school clustering at randomization. With the exception of the cardiometabolic factors involving blood samples, the sample described here, before imputation for most variables, includes 346 subjects, including 117 education-only, 112 Healthy Change, and 117 System Change subjects. Total enrollment was 360. At least 344 subjects are included in each row for the anthropometric and BP variables. At least 316 subjects are included for the cardiometabolic variables.
