While there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups on any of the biometric physical health measures at follow up, there were small changes in favour of the intervention group in waist circumference (intervention group from a mean of 111 [sd19.6] cm to 104 [sd16.5] cm, control 112 [sd13.4] cm to 110 [sd12.4] cm), and CRP (from 8.3 [sd9.8] mg/L to 2.7 [sd3.1] mg/L in the intervention group and from 6.4 [sd6.7] mg/L to 4.61 [sd4.4] mg/L in the control group). At baseline, 38 participants had sufficient data to determine the presence or not of the MetS. Here, CRP is linked to metabolic syndrome.
