Factors Associated with Accurate Perceptions of Child Obesity (N=123)

Odds ratio
estimate		 95% CI
Child’s Sex1 0.68 0.30, 1.52
Parent’s Education2 0.11 0.01, 0.89
Parent’s BMI 0.97 0.92, 1.02
Parent’s Health Status 1.04 0.67, 1.61

An estimate of higher than 1.0 in the odds ratio indicates an increased odds of agreement between perceived and actual overweight.
