Table 4. Body composition among the children aged at 60−72 months.
| Body composition | Control (n = 128) | Intervention (n = 166) | Mean difference (95% CI)a | P-valueb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body fat mass (kg) | 3.6 (3.4−3.8) | 3.4 (3.2−3.6) | 0.17 (−0.08 to 0.41) | 0.07 |
| Body fat (%) | 19.5 (18.4−20.6) | 19.2 (18.1−20.2) | 0.37 (−0.89 to 1.64) | 0.37 |
| Body fat-free mass (kg) | 14.6(14.2−14.9) | 14.4 (14.0−14.7) | 0.16 (−0.27 to 0.60) | 0.38 |
| Body muscle mass (kg) | 13.7 (13.4−14.1) | 13.5 (13.2−13.9) | 0.20 (−0.21 to 0.62) | 0.25 |
| Total body water (l) | 10.7 (10.4−11.0) | 10.5 (10.3−10.8) | 0.17 (−0.15 to 0.48) | 0.22 |
| Total body water (%) | 58.8 (58.1−59.6) | 59.1 (58.4−59.8) | −0.27 (−1.16 to 0.62) | 0.37 |
Values are given as mean (95% confidence interval) unless otherwise specified.
a
Mean difference is the cluster-adjusted difference in means between the control and intervention and group.
b
P-values from multilevel regression models with the cluster as random intercept. CI, confidence interval.
