Table 3. Anthropometrics and Blood Pressure.

Data are presented as mean ± standard error (SE). Baseline, 8 week and 6 month study visits shown as mean (SD) and change from baseline to 8 weeks. P-values reflect change from baseline and comparison between the groups.

Testing for zero mean change within diet group.

Testing for equal mean change between diets.

BMI and z scores were calculated based on CDC growth charts.(20)

BMI – body mass index, BP – blood pressure
