  1. *Errors in risk score include allowances of 2 kg and 2 cm margins of error.
  2. Notes for table: ¤ indicates participants who over-reported their risk and were consequently ineligible based on anthropometric measurements.
  3. † indicates participants at high risk who were actually at moderate risk based on anthropometric measurements.
  4. # indicates participants at moderate risk who were actually at high risk based on anthropometric measurements.
