Independent variables were sequentially added, and retained, in four blocks: [Model 1] child’s age, gender, parent’s education, and BMI, [Model 2] neighborhood safety and parent and child acculturation scores, [Model 3] TV viewing (minutes/day), and [Model 4] accelerometer-determined MVPA (minutes/day).
