Note. All scores were dichotomized to reflect 0 = never engaging in the behavior and 1 = engaged in the behavior. Covariates included age, race and whether the adolescent had experienced any childhood maltreatment in the comparisons of the severely obese females to HW females. In the comparisons of the two severely obese females, BMI was added as an additional covariate.
