Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Anthropometric measures (weight, height, waist circumference and BMI Z-score) measured at baseline and at 18 months (end of follow-up) 1.1. Weight measured using an electronic scale to the nearest 0.1kg 1.2. Height measured with a wall-mounted stadiometer to the nearest 0.1cm 1.3. Waist circumference measured using an anthropometric tape to the nearest 0.1cm 1.4. BMI z-score calculated using the 2007 WHO reference growth charts 2. Dietary intake was measured using a modified and trans-culturally adapted version of the Child Nutrition Questionnaire at baseline and subsequently at 6, 12 and 18 months 3. Physical activity level (during school-breaks, after school, and during weekend) was assessed with the interviewer based part of a culturally adapted and modified version of the Child and Adolescent Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey at baseline, 6, 12 and 18 months	—
