Table 4. Changes in risk factors from baseline to follow-up in the intervention and UC groups (continuous variables).

Variable Mean change (95% confidence interval) P value

n = 1,097
BMI (kg/m2)1 0.17 (0.03 to 0.31)* 0.23 (0.12 to 0.34)§ 0.50
WHR1 0.006 (0.001 to 0.012) 0.003 (−0.001 to 0.006)§ 0.29
Physical activity (METS) per day2 104 (89 to 119) 108 (98 to 118) 0.65

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).
