Table 4.

Logistic regression models estimating the relation of baseline characteristics to risk of weight gain over the first year of college (dichotomous outcome defined as gaining >0.5 kg vs. no gain).

Note.

*

No variables other than the single variable listed were included in unadjusted model.

Model was adjusted for sex, and sex by ‘variable’ interaction was tested and included if statistically significant.

The p-value for estimates shown in bold was <0.05; the sex by PA interaction p = 0.0409, thus model estimates shown are sex-specific.

§

Models for anthropometry and body composition variables were adjusted for sex, baseline weight, baseline diet (energy intake, total fat [% energy]), and energy expenditure (PA, sex by PA interaction, and sedentary time).
