Values presented are adjusted means and standard errors (SE) for BMI percentile; Models adjusted for Child’s age (continuous), race/ethnicity (categorical), sex (categorical), SES (categorical), and both Parent’s BMI (continuous).

b

N represents total in final model without missing information on outcome, exposure, and confounders.

c

Means sharing a letter (i.e., A, B, C) in the group label are not significantly different at the p < 0.05 level.
