Values estimated for each model for the three profiles of individual considered (healthy, intermediate and unhealthy)
| Models | Profiles | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Healthy | Intermediate | Unhealthy | |
| Gamma | |||
| (E[BMI]) | 16.79 | 26.13 | 38.15 |
| Linear | |||
| (E[BMI]) | 17.02 | 26.07 | 37.69 |
| Quantile | |||
| 0.25 (E[BMI]) | 16.59 | 23.56 | 32.36 |
| 0.50 (E[BMI]) | 16.69 | 25.86 | 37.02 |
| 0.75 (E[BMI]) | 17.06 | 27.86 | 43.26 |
| Logistic | |||
| Overweight (P[BMI ≥ 25]) | 0.7 | 51.4 | 99.8 |
| Multinomial | |||
| Normal (P[BMI < 25]) | 98.8 | 49.5 | 0.0 |
| Overweight (P[BMI ≥ 25 e BMI < 30]) | 1.2 | 34.7 | 7.0 |
| Obesity (P[BMI ≥ 30]) | 0.0 | 15.8 | 92.9 |
E[BMI] = expected value of BMI, in kg/m2; P[BMI] = probability of BMI ≥ e/or < certain value, in %
