Table 4. Weight Outcomes by Psychosocial Risk Category.

Moderate
Psychosocial Risk Category [N (%)] Low Risk a Risk b High Risk c p d
Increase in BMI z-score (N = 34) 10 (29.4) 21 (61.8) 3 (8.8) 0.04
Increase in BMI % for age e (N = 37) 12 (32.4) 22 (59.5) 3 (8.1) 0.08
ΔBMI-z not clinically meaningful f (N = 59) 20 (33.9) 34 (57.6) 5 (8.5) 0.01
a

Low risk was defined as a Psychosocial Assessment Tool©score < 1

b

Moderate risk was defined as Psychosocial Assessment Tool© score 1-2

c

High risk was defined as Psychosocial Assessment Tool© score > 2

d

Significance value comparing low risk to moderate-high risk. Because only 8 families had a Psychosocial Assessment Tool© score that categorized as high psychosocial risk, families with moderate and high psychosocial risk were grouped together for analysis.

e

BMI% for age was calculated as % above the 95%

f

A change in BMI-z was defined as not clinically meaningful if change in BMI-z > -0.1 units
