HRs show a risk of anxiety and depression for the obesity cohort versus the comparison group for girls and boys respectively. Adjusted HRs controlled for Nordic background and SES. Sample in adjusted HR; girls: obesity cohort n = 2432, comparison group n = 15,746; boys: obesity cohort n = 2469, comparison group n = 16,882. Number of total events of anxiety or depressive disorders: girls n = 788, boys n = 472. See the “Methods” section and Additional file 1 for definitions of disorders
