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).
