Cross-tabulations of obesity at 6th grade and depressed mood at 6th grade and at 8th grade by racial/ethnic group
| Racial/ethnic group | White/ | Black | Hispanic | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cross-sectional | 6th grade mood a | 6th grade mood | 6th grade mood | |||
| 6th grade weight status | CES-D ≥24 | CES-D < 24 | CES-D ≥24 | CES-D < 24 | CES-D ≥24 | CES-D < 24 |
| BMI ≥ 95th percentileb | 12 (24.0%)c | 38 (76.0%) | 9 (18.8%) | 39 (81.3%) | 9 (20.0%) | 36 (80.0%) |

OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval, BMI = body mass index, CES-D = Centers for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale
a
Depressed mood = CES-D ≥24
b
BMI z-score from CDC 2000 BMI-for-age growth reference; Obesity = BMI z-score ≥95th percentile
c
n (row percent) tabulated
d
Breslow-Day test for homogeneity of the odds ratios; P value <0.05 would suggest that the odds ratios across strata are not homogeneous.
