Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; OR, odds ratios; AOR, adjusted odds ratios; CI, confidence intervals. a Sexual minority males included male adolescents who reported same-sex, both-sexes or unsure attraction. Model 1 for suicide attempts was unadjusted. Model 2 for suicide attempts was adjusted for age, academic pressure, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, school victimization, and depressive symptoms. Sexual minority status × BMI category: Interaction between sexual minority status and BMI category.
