Table 2.

Logistic regression analysis of potential risk factors for overweight/obesity among study girls adjusted for each variable: maternal educational level, TV viewing (hour per day), birth-rank, employment of mothers (employed mothers), residency in low- or high-income areas, maternal overweight/obesity, paternal overweight/obesity, walking (hour per day), skipping breakfast as categorical variables, and age and birthweight as continuous variables
