Model 1 is adjusted by child age, child sex, child place of birth, household income, and field center. Model 2 is adjusted by covariates included in model 1 and additionally adjusted by home food environment. Model 3 is adjusted by covariates included in model 1 and additionally adjusted for objective moderate/vigorous activity and daily average wear time. Model 4 is adjusted by covariates included in model 1 and additionally adjusted for sedentary time and daily average wear time. Model 5 is adjusted by covariates included in model 1 and additionally adjusted for Healthy Eating Index 2010. Model 6 is adjusted by covariates included in model 1 and additionally adjusted for parental obesity.
