  • *Adjusted for stratification factors: sex and ethnicity; change from baseline in accelerometer wear time and baseline value of outcome.

  • †Participants with missing outcome data or missing variables required for the model adjustment were excluded.

  • ‡Missing data imputed using multiple imputation.

  • §Participants who did not engage with at least one group session of the programme have been excluded from the intervention arm.
