Results from logistic regression model predicting the likelihood of girls exceeding TV viewing recommendations at age 9 and 11 years based on their exposure to parenting risk factors at age 9

Number of parenting risk factors to which the girls were exposed at age 9
≤1 2 3 4
Percentage of girls in each category who watched >2 hours of TV per day at age 9 and 11 8 34 42 50
Likelihood [OR (95% CI)] of girls watching >2 hours of TV per day at age 9 and 11 controlling for covariates Referent group 5.4 (1.9 to 15.6) 7.3 (2.4 to 21.9) 9.6 (3.1 to 29.8)

Covariates included mothers' education and family income. An additional analysis was run that included girls' weight status at age 9 as an additional covariate; see the text for results. A total of 68, 44, 33, and 28 girls were exposed to ≤1, 2, 3, and 4 parenting risk factors, respectively.
