Demographic & self-regulation/temperament measures according to 10 year weight group

	Normal Weight (n = 148)	Overweight/Obese (n = 116)
Gender
Male	66^a	47^a
Female	82^a	69^a
Race
Caucasian	101^a	68^a
African-American	40^a	38^a
Other	7^a	10^a
Socioeconomic Status (SES)	40.33 (10.75)^a	38.84 (11.42)^a
2yr Self-regulation-z score (L)	.16 (.67)^a	−.10 (.69)^b
2yr Temperament: Pleasure Scale-z score (P)	−.10 (.97)^a	.22 (.94)^b

Note. Values enclosed in parentheses represent standard deviations. Means in the same row that do not share subscripts differ at p<.05. Chi-square analyses were conducted to examine gender and racial status differences among normal and overweight/obese groups while a t-test was conducted to examine differences in SES among weight groups. Significance tests presented for self-regulation and temperament z-scores were derived from results of the logistic regression. (L) = laboratory measure, (P) = parent report.
