a
The final models for both males and females were adjusted for age and adolescent obesity.
b
RR= relative risk; CI=confidence interval
c
Models for males were pooled and adjusted by race/ethnicity
d
Significant interactions (p<0.05) between race/ethnicity and Factor 1 (p=0.013) and Factor 4 (p=0.017) were used to calculate racial/ethnic-stratified results in models for females
