Number of parents with both baseline and 1-y values: BMI (99 in SC and 94 in SC + EP); blood pressure (100 in SC and 94 in SC + EP); glucose metabolism, lipid profile, and hsCRP (103–106 in SC and 97–99 in SC + EP); other inflammatory, vascular adhesion, and coagulation markers and adipokines (98–99 in SC and 92–93 in SC + EP). EP, enhanced program; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; SC, standard care; sICAM-3, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 3.

2

F-tests on fixed effects of study group, time, and group by time interaction from a mixed-effects random intercept linear model.

3

Values are geometric means (SD); SD was estimated from log-transformed values.

4

Values are mean % difference [95% CI], calculated from model-based least-square means.
