Adjusted Odds of Being Overweight, by Behavioral Category, Male (n = 2,083) and Female (n = 1,526) Students, School Health Action, Planning and Evaluation System (SHAPES), Ontario, Canada, 2005-2006
| Behavioral Category | Overweight Boys(n = 268) vs Normal Weight and Underweighta Students (n = 1,815), AORb (95% CI) | Overweight Girls (n = 225) vs Normal Weight and Underweighta Students (n = 1,299)c, AORb (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| High active-low sedentary | 1 [Reference] | 1 [Reference] |
| High active-high sedentary | 1.15 (0.71-1.88) | 1.91 (1.01-3.61)d |
| Low active-low sedentary | 1.16 (0.58-2.30) | 1.53 (0.78-2.99) |
| Low active-high sedentary | 1.60 (1.01-2.58)e | 2.24 (1.23-4.09)f |
Abbreviations: AOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
Students who were less than the 5th percentile for BMI by sex were classified as underweight, students who were in the 85th percentile or higher for BMI by sex were classified as at risk of overweight/overweight, and students who were in the 5th to less than the 85th percentile for BMI by sex were classified as normal weight.
Odds ratios adjusted for age and clustering by school.
