^aAdjusted for age (continuous), sex, ethnicity (Hispanic/non-Hispanic), group (control/intervention), baseline-dependent variable (fiber, vegetables waist circumference, BMI z-score), baseline-independent variable (cooking or gardening behavior), and energy (kcal).

^bNot adjusted for energy (kcal).
