ANCOVA of health-related variables by deprivation group, adjusted for CRF (BMI z-score and waist circumference analysis), BMI z-score (CRF analysis) and somatic maturation (PAQ-C analysis)
| Variable | HD mean (95% CI) (N=98) | MD mean (95% CI) (N=96) | p Value | d |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BMI z-score | 0.49 (0.25 to 0.73) | 0.14 (−0.10 to 0.39) | 0.002 | 0.4 |
| Waist circumference | 64.73 (63.25 to 66.22) | 62.92 (61.42 to 64.42) | <0.001 | 0.3 |
| CRF | 35.89 (32.13 to 39.65) | 40.52 (36.72 to 44.32) | 0.002 | 0.3 |
| PAQ-C | 3.46 (3.32 to 3.60) | 3.45 (3.31 to 3.59) | 0.22 | 0.0 |
ANCOVA, analysis of covariance; BMI, body mass index; CRF, cardiorespiratory fitness; d, effect size; HD, high deprivation; MD, medium deprivation; PAQ-C, Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children.
