Table 3. Predicting the emergence of daughters' early dieting and adolescent dieting in families where neither parent, either parent or both parents encouraged their daughter to diet, adjusting for daughters' BMI percentile at age 9.

	Early Dieting (n= 169)	Adolescent Dieting (n=110)
Daughters' BMI Percentile	1.02 (.998, 1.04)	1.01 (.99, 1.02)
Dieting encouraged by:
Neither parent	ref	ref
One parent	1.99 (.66, 5.96)	1.66 (.46, 5.88)
Both parents	8.30 (2.32, 29.68)**	5.34 (0.60, 47.25)

Early dieting refers to the emergence of self-reported dieting by 11y. Adolescent dieting refers to the emergence of dieting between 11y and 15y. Daughters who reported dieting by 11y were excluded from the models examining the emergence of dieting during adolescence. Parental encouragement measured at daughter 9-, 11-, 13-, and 15y (only 9- and 11y used to predict early dieting). The “neither” group was used as the reference group for comparisons.
