Model Coefficients for Logistic Regression on Parent Predicting Child Would be Overweight/Obese in Adulthood

OR 95% CI
Child BMI
 Healthy weight ref
 Overweight 0.95 [0.49, 1.79]
 Obese 2.44** [1.26, 4.73]
Parent BMI
 Healthy weight ref
 Overweight 1.16 [0.59, 2.25]
 Obese 2.17* [1.14, 4.13]
Parent Age (years) 1.07*** [1.04, 1.11]
Parent Race
 White ref
 Black 2.00 [0.73, 5.49]
 Hispanic 2.12* [1.05, 4.28]
 Other 0.87 [0.35, 2.17]
Numeracy (0–4) 1.28* [1.02, 1.61]
Constant 0.003 [0.001, 0.02]

Notes: Child age, child gender, child frequency of healthcare utilization, quality of child healthcare, child health insurance, census region, residence in an MSA, family income, parent numeracy, parent education, and household size were tested, but ultimately dropped from the model due to lack of significance.
