Change in BMI between baseline and follow-up was imputed for 260 observations (using BMI at baseline); change in WHR was imputed for 257 observations (using WHR and BMI at baseline); change in physical activity per day was imputed for 259 observations (using physical activity at baseline); change in fruit consumption per week was imputed for 259 observations (using fruit consumption at baseline).
