Associations between each healthy and unhealthy weight-loss practices and diabetes type, by sex, among 1,646 youth aged ≥10 years of age who had ever tried to lose weight

	Healthy weight-loss practices		Unhealthy weight-loss practices
	Exercise	Diet	Fasting	Diet aids	Vomiting/laxatives	Skip insulin
Female (n = 1,037)†
Type 2 (referent, type 1)	1.41 (0.71–2.80)	1.97 (1.26–3.07)	2.43 (1.44–4.10)	1.71 (0.98–2.96)	2.34 (0.90–6.14)	1.34 (0.56–3.17)
Male (n = 609)†
Type 2 (referent, type 1)	1.42 (0.42–4.81)	1.93 (1.17–3.19)	1.80 (0.84–3.84)	—‡	—‡	—‡
All youth (n = 1,646)§
Type 2 (referent, type 1)	1.40 (0.77–2.54)	1.91 (1.37–2.67)	2.22 (1.45–3.40)	1.89 (1.18–3.02)	2.06 (0.89–4.76)	1.16 (0.52–2.59)

Data are ORs (95% CI) by logistic regression, modeling the probability of each weight-loss practice separately.

^†Adjusted for respondents’ age category, highest parental education category, and race/ethnicity category. For these models, Asian/Pacific Islander youth, Native American youth, and youth of other race/ethnicity were combined into one group.

^‡Prevalence too low to generate models.

^§Adjusted for covariates in previous model (†) plus sex.
