* p < .05, ** p < .01, ** p < .001 (one-tailed); ♀: girls; ♂: boys;
Short-term change = from pre- to post-treatment (pre minus post);
Long-term change = from pre-treatment to follow-up 2 (follow-up 2 minus pre);
Except for weight complaints, negative correlations imply that reductions in zBMI (negative change score) were associated with improvements in HRQoL (positive change score).
In general, correlations with generic HRQoL change scores were very similar for raw scores and z-scores, so only results for z-scores are given.
