Effects of deworming on changes in physical fitness and strength indicators (primary outcomes) at various follow-ups from baseline among 194 children from south-west Yunnan province, P.R. China, who participated in a randomized controlled trial conducted from October 2011 to May 2012.

aValues are mean (Δ from baseline), unless otherwise stated.
bDifferences in the changes between follow-up and baseline among the intervention groups are adjusted for village, and at the individual level for sex, age at follow-up, and height and weight at baseline (for the 1-month follow-up) or follow-up (for the 4- and 6-month follow-ups). Values are calculated from a multivariate linear regression model, presented as coefficient (95% confidence interval) and highlighted in bold if statistical significance is achieved (P<0.05).
ALB: triple-dose albendazole; PLB: placebo.
