Main effects
Sexual abuse vs. not 0.92 .50-1.70 0.79 0.97 .49-1.91 0.92
Physical abuse vs. not 0.78 .47-1.31 0.35 0.65 0.37-1.16 0.15

Interaction effects

Physical abuse × gender (male ref) 0.29 .10-.87 0.03 0.14 .04-.49 0.002
Neglect × gender (male ref) 1.22 .36-4.09 0.75 0.74 .20-2.70 0.65

Note: maltreatment type indicates presence of that type of maltreatment versus other maltreated participants without that specific type; the maltreated group without the specific type of maltreatment was always used as the reference variable.

Overweight/Obese is BMI≥85 percentile

Obese is BMI≥95 percentile
