EI, energy intake; %EI, percentage of energy intake; PR, plausible report; UdR, under-report; OvR, over-report.

Effects of continuous variables are assessed as 1-unit offsets from the mean. Due to the small scale of the propensity score, 0.01-unit offsets from mean were chosen here.

*Basic model: logistic multilevel regression model; OR for the association between overweight/obesity and food intake adjusted for age and sex and including the study centre as random effect (n 5962).

†Basic model additionally adjusted for net household income (dummy: high v. medium/low), number of persons below 18 years of age in the household, day of the interview (dummy: weekday v. Saturday/Sunday), information on parental concerns and perception regarding their child's weight status and reported intakes from food groups associated with misreporting.

‡Basic model, but excluding UdR and OvR (n 5319).

§Basic model adjusted for the reporting group (UdR, PR, OvR).

∥Basic model adjusted for a propensity score for misreporting.
