Relationships between child’s perceptions of their own weight in early adolescence and difference in parental perception of child’s ideal and actual weight (Δ [PPCI – PPCA]) as a categorical predictor in early childhood

Outcome: Adolescent Self-Perception	Predictor: Parents Categorical Δ [Ideal (PPCI) –Actual weight (PPCA)]	β (SE)^a	p-value
Actual weight (ACA)	Δ < 0	0.497 (0.430)	.250
	Δ = 0	REF	REF
	Δ > 0	0.183 (0.385)	.636

Ideal weight (ACI)	Δ < 0	0.626 (0.389)	.111
	Δ = 0	REF	REF
	Δ > 0	0.686 (0.349)	.052

Δ [ACI - ACA]	Δ < 0	0.130 (0.412)	.753
	Δ = 0	REF	REF
	Δ > 0	0.503 (0.370)	.176

All models adjusted tor child–s race/ethnicity, sex, age at early childhood assessment, BMI z-score at early childhood assessment, and parental BMI at early childhood assessment.
