Associations of parental stress at baseline with attained BMI at age 10, slope of BMI change over a four-year period

Effect Model 1 Model 2
Attained BMI coefficient (95% CI) 0.443 (0.025-0.860) 0.287 (0.016-0.558)
Slope of BMI change coefficient (95% CI) 0.093 (0.078-0.108) 0.054 (0.007-0.100)

Model 1 includes adjustment for age, sex, racial/ethnic group and community of residence at baseline. Model 2 additionally adjusts for exposure to traffic-related pollution at the home, participant's level of extra-curricular exercise activity, residence in a “food desert” and parental education. Effects of stress scaled across 2 SD of PSS (2.9 units).
