* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001; a the p-value was marginally significant: p = 0.055; model 1: unadjusted; model 2: adjusted for recruitment group (conventional vs alternative), child gender and birth weight, parental educational level, employment and country of birth; model 3: adjusted for covariates from model 2 and in addition for BMI z-score at age 5 in parenting practice-BMI associations, and for either physical activity or sedentary screen-based behavior at age 5 in the parenting practice-physical activity/sedentary behavior associations; Explained variances (R2): for BMI: Model 1 = 0.01, Model 2 = 0.06, Model 3 = 0.39; for Physicalactivity: Model 1 = 0.08, Model 2 = 0.13, Model 3 = 0.21; for Sedentary screen-based behavior: Model 1 = 0.01, Model 2 = 0.13, Model 3 = 0.38
