Unadjusted odds ratios for overweight, obesity, abdominal obesity, and parent history of obesity and consumption of selected foods

Risk factors OR (95% Confidence Interval) p value
Obesity from having obese parents 4.0 (1.2–13.0) 0.02
Overweight and obesity from having obese parents 3.6 (1.3–9.5) 0.01
Abdominal obesity(1) from having obese parents 5.1 (1.8–13.9) < 0.01
Abdominal obesity(1) from having parents with abdominal obesity 2.85 (1.2–6.6) 0.02
Overweight and obesity from consumption of beans (≥ 7 times a week vs ≤ 1 times a week ) 5.9 (1.6–21.6) < 0.01
Overweight and obesity from consumption of salsa (≥ 3 times a week vs ≤ 1 times a week) 2.5 (1.02–6.2) 0.05
Overweight and obesity from consumption of potato and tortilla chips with salsa (≥ 3 times a week vs ≤ 1 times a week) and beans (≥ 7 times a week vs ≤ 1 times a week) 6.1 (1.7–21.5) < 0.01
Overweight and obesity from consumption of potato and tortilla chips (≥ 4 times a week vs ≤ 1 times a week ) 4.6 (1.6–13.4) < 0.01
Risk of abdominal obesity from consumption of burritos (never vs ≥ 1 times a week) 4.2 (1.4–12.7) 0.01
