aData was set to missing for 2 children for child height at baseline (2 in the HENRY arm), 1 child (in the control arm) for child weight at baseline, 2 parents for parent height at baseline (2 in the control arm), and 1 parent for parent weight at baseline (in the control arm). Overall, parent and child demographics were similar for those where child BMI z-score could be calculated and those for whom child BMI-z score was missing

bParent/carer waist circumference was an optional measure for participants
