ALSPAC, Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children; DP, dietary pattern; DP1, energy-dense, high %E from free sugars, high %E from total fat and low-fiber dietary pattern; DP2, non–energy dense, high %E from free sugars, and low %E from total fat dietary pattern; FMI, fat mass index.
Estimated odds of excess adiposity associated with a 1-SD increase in DP z score between dietary assessments.
P value for z-test: estimating the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis (OR = 0) when it is true.
Model 1: generalized estimating equation (logistic) regressing previous DP z score on excess adiposity (FMI z score >80th percentile), adjusted for age, sex, and dietary misreporting.
Model 2: adjusted as in model 1 plus for physical activity.
Model 3: adjusted as in model 2 plus for maternal social class.
