n = 76. Values are means ± SDs or medians [IQRs] for nonnormally distributed variables. Raw: change adjusted for baseline value. Adjusted: raw model adjusted for sex, change in BMI (except the outcome energy intake), and change in physical activity. GEE analysis of adjusted model further adjusting for sibling clusters. FM, fat mass; GEE, generalized estimating equation; %E, percentage of total energy intake.
