Notes. OR: weighted odds ratio. 95% CI: 95% confidence interval. Models 1 to 5 examined the individual predictive effects of each source in round 2 on dieting behavior in round 3, controlling for dieting behavior in round 2, demographic characteristics (age, education level, ethnicity, marital status), anthropometric indices (WHO BMI categories), psychological variables (Lerman cancer worry scale), and cancer-related variables (cancer type by gender, stage of disease at diagnosis, type of treatment received, health status, and frequency of physician visits).
