Cross-tabulations of depressed mood at 6^th grade and obesity at 6^th grade and at 8^th grade by racial/ethnic group

OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval, CES-D = Centers for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, BMI=body mass index

Depressed mood = CES-D ≥2

BMI z-score from CDC 2000 BMI-for-age growth reference; Obesity = BMI z-score ≥95^th percentile

n (row percent) tabulated

Breslow-Day test for homogeneity of the odds ratios; P value <0.05 would suggest that the odds ratios across strata are not homogeneous.
