BMI indicates body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HLC, Healthy Living Clinic (another pediatric weight management program); Mos β, amount of change per month prior to intervention (MEND+); Mos*intv β, amount of change in unit between prior to intervention and after intervention; and After, amount of change per month after MEND+ intervention.
