Stratified by 6th grade depressed mood – cross-tabulation of 6th grade Obesity and 8th grade depressed mood

Prospective, stratified by 6th grade depressed mood
Girls with depressed mood at 6th grade
White n=56 Black n=45 Hispanic n=30
8th grade mood 8th grade mood 8th 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 percentile 5 (41.7%) 7 (58.3%) 5 (55.6%) 4 (44.4%) 3 (33.3%) 6 (66.7%)
BMI < 95th percentile 16 (36.7%) 28 (63.6%) 13 (36.1%) 23 (63.9%) 7 (33.3%) 14 (66.7%)
OR (95%CI) 1.3 (0.3, 4.6) 2.2 (0.5, 9.7) 1.0 (0.2, 5.2)

Girls without depressed mood at 6 th grade
White n=482 Black n=134 Hispanic n=171
8th grade mood 8th grade mood 8th 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 percentile 10 (26.3%) 28 (73.7%) 4 (10.3%) 35 (89.7%) 6 (16.7%) 30 (83.3%)
BMI < 95th percentile 56 (12.6%) 388 (87.4%) 11 (11.6%) 84 (88.4%) 28 (20.7%) 107 (79.3%)
OR (95% CI) 2.5 (1.1, 5.4) 0.9 (0.3, 2.9) 0.8 (0.3, 2.0)

Breslow-Day P valued .37 .34 .78
Mantel-Haenszel OR (95% CI) 2.0 (1.0, 3.9) 1.3 (0.5, 3.1) 0.8 (0.4, 1.9)

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.
