Figure 2.

Relationship between ASD, obesity status, and age stratified by sex (left panel, L), racial/ethnic Group (middle panel, M), and household income (right panel, R). The top portions show the odds of obesity for children with ASD relative to those without ASD at each age between 10 and 17 years by demographic category. The bottom portions show the prevalence of obesity for children with and without ASD for each age between 10 and 17 years by demographic category. The analyses were adjusted for sex, racial/ethnic group, and household income accordingly. The figures correspond to the rows of summary data shown in Table 3. The odds ratios across the age categories varied significantly between male and female children (p < 0.001), significantly between racial/ethnic groups (p < 0.001), but not significantly between household income categories (p = 0.25).
