Data reported as mean (SD). Pre-treatment vs. Post-treatment comparisons are unadjusted and were done by linear mixed model. Height, weight and BMI parameters measured at Week 1 and Week 24 of FBT. All other measures were assessed at pre-treatment and post-treatment study visits. BMI parameters were calculated with LMS values by sex and age and BMI % over the 95th was calculated as the percent the current BMI was over the estimated 95% BMI percentile (https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/percentile_data_files.htm). Body composition parameters were by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Activity is moderate and vigorous levels (average min/d from 7 days of consecutive wear). Healthy Eating Index calculated based on 2010 criteria.
