a

Estimated from separate logistic regression models including study group, age, sex, migration background, socio-economic status, region of residence, and weight status.

b

Estimated from separate logistic regression model including study group, age, sex, terms for study group by sex and study group by age interactions, migration background, socio-economic status, region of residence, and weight status.

c

P-value (Wald-χ2-Test); d P-value (Wald-χ2-Test) for comparison sex-specific odds ratios (corresponding to testing of study group by sex interaction).

e

P-value (Wald-χ2-Test) for testing ΔOR per year (relative change in OR per year, corresponding to testing of study group by age interaction).

f

Physically inactive youths were excluded.
