Table 2. Predicting the emergence of daughters' early dieting and adolescent dieting from maternal and paternal encouragement of dieting, adjusting for BMI percentile at age 9.

	Early Dieting		Adolescent Dieting
	Maternal (n=174 )	Paternal (n= 169)	Maternal (n=112)	Paternal (n=110)
Daughter BMI percentile	1.03 (1.01, 1.04)**	1.03 (1.01, 1.04)**	1.01 (0.99, 1.03)	1.01 (0.99, 1.02)
Daughter encouraged by:
Mother	1.90 (1.08, 3.35)*		1.48 (0.79, 2.76)
Father		2.15 (1.18, 3.91)*		3.10 (0.92, 10.42)

Early dieting refers to the emergence of self-reported dieting by 11y. Adolescent dieting refers to the emergence of dieting after 11y but by 15y. Daughters who reported dieting by 11y were excluded from the models examining the emergence of dieting during adolescence. Daughters' BMI percentile was measured at age 9y. Parental encouragement measured at daughter 9-, 11-, 13-, and 15y (only 9- and 11y used to predict early dieting) and represents the number of times the mother/father reported encouraging dieting. Data presented as odds ratios with 95% confidence interval in parentheses.
