Values given in bold are statistically significant; Ref.: reference category.

^aDietary score based on compliance with Nordic Nutrition Recommendation for intake of carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fibre.

^bNo participation or less than once per week in any organized activity.

^cAge- and sex-adjusted BMI corresponding to adult BMI ≥ 25 kg/m².

^dIt is adjusted for parental level of education (≤9, 10–12 and >12 years) and mutually adjusted for dietary score, low physical activity, and overweight.

OR and 95% CI were significant: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001.
