Figure 1. Structural Equation Modelling for the Associations between the Home Environment, Diet and PA factors with Hispanic Children’s BMI z-score, PACER z-score and HOMA_IR.

Statistically significant path coefficients are presented as standardized regression coefficients (β); dashed lines represent associations that were included in the exploratory analysis, but were not significant. Model fit: Χ² = 59.12 (d.f. = 43, P > 0.05), Χ²/d.f. = 1.37 RMSEA = 0.045 (90% C.I. = 0.000, 0.071), and CFI = 0.925.

**P value <0.01; *P value <0.05.

^aVariables were log-transformed to improve multivariate normality.

^bParental PA behaviors variable corresponds to exercising at a gym or at home, aerobics, weight training, jogging, or vigorous sports, such as basketball, soccer, tennis, etc.

^cPA equipment at home corresponds to having basketball, baseball, tennis, or other sports equipment available at home.

^dChildren’s PA corresponds to total time (hours per day) spent on sports, playing time and/or non-motorized travel (walking, riding a bicycle/scooter/skateboard, rollerblading).

^eParental body mass index (BMI) as kg/m² included both father and mother BMIs.

BMI, body mass index; CFI, comparative fix index; HOMA_IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; PA, physical activity; PACER, Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run; SSB, sugar-sweetened beverages.
