  1. Note: Participants number in each group: Comprehensive intervention group: n = 73, PA only group: n = 115, diet only group, n = 92, Control group, n = 49
  2. aUnadjusted mean [SD] were presented for baseline and post-intervention measures
  3. bAdjusted change means and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) are the differences among intervention groups relative to control group by linear mixed model adjusted for baseline value, gender and age
  4. cAdjusted differences in groups vs. in PA only group, P < 0.05
  5. dAdjusted differences in groups vs. in diet only group, P < 0.05
  6. eAdjusted differences in groups vs. in control group, P < 0.05
