^aGamma multivariable regression was used.

^bNormal multivariable regression was used.

^cThe parameter values in each cell can be interpreted as the mean change in weight, height, or BMI when the explanatory variable changes from its reference value to the level of interest, assuming the values of all other variables are held constant.
