Coefficient (exposure to lifestyle intervention) | 1.8 (favors intervention) kg loss per month more during intervention period than control period | 1.9 (favors intervention) kg loss per month more during intervention period than control period | −2.7 (favors intervention) difference in mean weight measurements during intervention period than control period | −3.7 (favors intervention) difference in mean weight measurements during intervention period than control period |
