TABLE 3.

Multiple regression of potential mediators of relationship between neighborhood safety tertile and BMI z-score among girls (n = 308).

Covariate	β (95% CI)
NSS Tertile 1 (least safe)	0.58 (0.29, 0.87)^*
NSS Tertile 2	−0.02 (−0.28, 0.24)
NSS Tertile 3 (safest)	Referent
Race (non-white/other vs. white)	0.11 (−0.21, 0.44)
Income-to-needs ratio	.01 (−0.03, 0.04)
Time Outdoors in the Neighborhood (any vs. none)	−0.05 (−0.28, 0.18)
Latitude	−0.01 (−0.03, 0.02)
Television viewing (hours/week)	0.01 (−0.01, 0.02)
CBCL Internalizing T-score (>60 vs. ≤ 60)	−0.20 (−0.57, 0.16)
CBCL Externalizing T-score (>60 vs. ≤ 60)	0.15 (−0.25, 0.54)
Puberty by the 5^th grade (yes vs. no)	0.52 (0.25, 0.79)^*
