Table 4.

Odds ratios for incident “at risk” of overweight (BMI 85th-95th percentile), overweight (>95th percentile), incident percent body fat > 30%, and incident percent body fat > 35% in 8th grade girls according to change in activity levels from 6th to 8th grade*

Change in sedentary activity OR (95% CI) Change in light activity OR (95% CI)
Incident overweight 85th (cases/total n = 44/655) 1.00096 (0.99705, 1.00489) 1.00067 (0.99590, 1.00547)
Incident overweight 95th (cases/total n = 31/824) 0.99485 (0.98966, 1.00006) 0.99871 (0.99318, 1.00427)
Incident %BF ≥ 30% (cases/total n = 177/597) 1.00036 (0.99780, 1.00293) 0.99967 (0.99651, 1.00284)
Incident %BF ≥ 35% (cases/total n = 138/615) 0.99893 (0.99628, 1.00160) 0.99862 (0.99533, 1.00193)

OR, odds ratio

CI, confidence interval

Change = 8th grade value – 6th grade value.
