Association of pattern scores with longitudinal BMI and weight status development

	BMI z-score		Overweight
	Standardized β (95%CI)		Odds ratio (95%CI)
	6-7 years	7-8 years	6-7 years	7-8 years
Pattern 1	a	0.05*	a	1.27†
		(0.00-0.09)		(0.99-1.65)
Pattern 2	a	a	1.28*	a
			(1.03-1.60)
Pattern 3	a	a	a	a
Pattern 4	a	a	a	a

Notes: BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval. Results of backward linear and logistic regression analyses with BMI z-score and overweight as dependent variables, respectively. The analyses were corrected for BMI z-score/weight status at age 5, and thus reflect development of BMI and weight status between ages 5 and 6–7, and between ages 5 and 7–8, respectively. All analyses were further adjusted for recruitment group; child gender and birth weight; and parental educational level, working hours, country of birth and BMI.

Pattern 1: Television–Snacking pattern.

Pattern 2: Sports–Computer pattern.

Pattern 3: Traditional Family pattern.

Pattern 4: ‘Fast’ Food pattern.
