Note: BMI = body mass index (kg/m²), Fruit and veg. = Recommended fruit and vegetable consumption, MCS = Mental Component Summary of SF-12 (version 2), PA = Recommended physical activity, PCS = Physical Component Summary of SF-12 (version 2), PR1MaC = Adaptation, implantation et évaluation d'une intervention d'intégration des services de réadaptation en maladies chroniques aux soins de 1re ligne (Adapting and integrating chronic disease prevention and man and management services into primary care settings), Psy. Distress = Presence of psychological distress, RR = relative risk, SEM-CD = Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease, SF-6D = Single Index of SF-12, SF-12 (version 2) = 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey, SD = standard deviation.

*Student paired t test used for continuous variables, and McNemar's test used for categorical variables (calculated only for participants who had completed all 3 measurements).

†Mean difference = mean after 3 mo - mean at baseline.

‡Mean difference = mean after 12 mo - mean at baseline.

¶Baseline was the reference in the calculations of RR.
