Other Outcome Measures
- Physical activity determined objectively using waist-worn accelerometry. Participants will be asked to wear the monitors for at least one week. [Non-specific follow-up duration as multiple time-points are considered (follow-up at 2, 3.5 and 6.5 years)]
Physical activity outcomes include; mean count/min, light-physical activity, moderate-physical activity, vigorous-physical activity. First physical activity assessment made during year 1 of the intervention
