NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; PIR, poverty income ratio; BMI, body mass index.

1

p<0.05 compared with first-listed group.

2

p<0.05 compared with second-listed group.

*

Adjusted for all other factors listed (N=20,178).

Estimated using logistic regression analysis.

For persons 6-19 years, education level was the higher of the household reference person or that person’s spouse.

§

PIR is family income to poverty threshold ratio. Cut-points were tertiles.

For persons 6-19 years, BMI was defined in age- and sex-specific percentiles as normal weight, <85th, overweight, 85th-<95th, and obese, ≥95th; for persons 20+ years, BMI was defined in kg/m2 as normal weight, <25, overweight, 25-<30, and obese, ≥30.
