*Reference categories: girls, non-Indigenous, Q5—least disadvantaged, healthy weight (BMI); physical activity and age are continuous.
†Each category excludes those children for which the reported measure is not available.
‡Socioeconomic status (SES) based on ACT quintiles of relative disadvantage from IRSD at SA1 level. Q1—most disadvantaged; Q5—least disadvantaged.
§Based on BMI.
