  1. Age, height, and BMI at trial baseline data are means ± standard deviations; 1-year data on anthropometry (except height) and body composition are means and 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for body mass index (BMI), ethnicity, and age at trial baseline, while blood pressure data were adjusted for ethnicity, height, and age; 7-year data on anthropometry (except height) and body composition are means and 95% CI adjusted for BMI at trial baseline, ethnicity, current age, and number of pregnancies since the trial, while blood pressure data were adjusted for ethnicity, height, age, and number of pregnancies.
