  1. Bold values indicate significant changes with * indicating p-value < 0.05 and **indicating p-value < 0.001
  2. a Mean (SD)
  3. b Standardized Mean Difference with 95% Confidence Interval; Welch’s unpaired t-test
  4. c Difference in mean within-group difference (Intervention mean difference – control mean difference); ANOVA t-test
  5. d CVH percentile (range 0–100) is calculated using a published algorithm using all available data from the 7 CVH risk factors. Each risk factor is scored using criteria (0 = poor, 1 = intermediate, 2 = ideal), summed and divided by the number of variables included to generate a percentile
  6. e Statistical test not conducted due to high proportion with missing data
