Control-PM, group receiving control pearl millet; Fe-PM, group receiving Fe-biofortified pearl millet; Diff (Ctl − Fe), difference in LS means between Control-PM and Fe-PM groups; TRT P value, P value for treatment group; LPA, light physical activity, defined as minutes spent performing activities in the 1–3 metabolic equivalents range (METS); MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, defined as minutes spend performing activities above 3 METS.

^*Results of linear mixed models adjusted for baseline value of outcome, sex, as well as baseline and endline wear-time. All models include a random effect of hostel (location) and are adjusted for multiple comparisons using a Tukey adjustment.
