These models were run a sub-sample of children who were at risk of experiencing upward to downward movements across weight categories between age 5 and 11:.
Children who at age 5 where either normal weight or overweight.
Children who at age 5 where either obese or overweight. All estimates are weighted and adjusted for design effects.
Adjusted for child's gender and puberty.
Adjusted for child's gender, puberty, mother smoking during pregnancy, length of breastfeeding, introduction to solid foods before 4 months.
Adjusted for child's gender, puberty, frequency of sport per week, frequency of active playing with a parent per week, frequency of TV watching, frequency of PC use, bedtime, frequency child is taken to the playground.
Adjusted for child's gender, puberty, fruit portion per day, eating breakfast everyday, maternal BMI and sweet drinks consumption.
Adjusted for child's gender, puberty and all risk factors.
