ORs were estimated from logistic regression models adjusted for age (continuous), sex (male, female), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic White, Hispanic, Black, Asian/PI/AIAN, or other/unknown), insurance through government health care assistance programs (yes/no), neighborhood education level (continuous probability of education below high school), oral contraceptive use (yes/no), and site (Denver Health, Group Health Cooperative, HealthPartners and seven Kaiser Permanente regions). Tests of linear trend across weight category were conducted by considering weight category as a continuous variable in the multivariate model

AIAN American Indian/American Native; CI confidence interval; OR odds ratio; PI Pacific Islander

aDue to sample size limitations, these groups were combined for the outcomes related to asthma control
