  1. Models adjusted for intervention status, marital status, occupation status and education level as time-varying covariates, and sex and family risk cluster at baseline as time-stable covariates.
  2. †In each group, estimates represent the shift in BMI status per unit change in exposure variables (intervention vs. control, unmarried vs. married, unemployed vs. employed, high levels education vs. low levels).
