Primary Outcome

The Z-Score indicates how many standard deviations (SD) a participant has from the population normal values. The body weight z-scores were designed to take into account the amount of weight gain that was expected due to normal growth in children and adolescents. Body weight data were converted to Z-scores using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) programs provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for the calculation of the 2000 CDC growth charts. The mean (SD) change in Z scores from b
