Table 3.

Odds ratios, confidence intervals (95%) and p values for logistic regression analysis with the categorized discrepancy between current weight and desired weight as the dependent variable (n=878), separated into Model 1b (WBIS), Model 2b (Lifetime Discrimination), Model 3b (Daily Discrimination) and Model 4b (MBSRQ-AS)

OR = odds ratio; ref = reference variable for logistic regression analysis; WBIS = Weight Bias Internalization Scale; MBSRQ-AS = Multidimensional Body Self-Relations Questionnaire-Appearance Scale.

Discrepancy between current weight and desired weight was categorized into two categories (0= recommended weight loss, lower than 10%; 1 = not recommended weight loss, greater than 10%)

^*p < 0.05;

^**p < 0.01;

^***p < 0.001.
