Regression analysis results for the relationship between child maltreatment class and average excess BMI, using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 17,669).
Variable | Unadjusted model, coefficient (SE) | Adjusted model, coefficient (SE) |
---|---|---|
Physical abuse class | 0.16 (0.13) | 0.17 (0.12) |
Physical abuse + neglect class | 0.22 (0.25) | 0.03 (0.24) |
Poly-maltreatment class | 0.46 (0.20)* | 0.19 (0.20) |
Adolescent onset maltreatment | 0.36 (0.11)** | 0.28 (0.11)* |
R2 | 0.002 | 0.083 |
Note: Estimates are averaged over 20 imputed datasets and account for survey weighting and clustering. Asterisks indicate significant effects:

Adjusted model controls for: biological sex (male or female); race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic White, Hispanic, other); parent education (less than high school, high school, some college, college graduate); parent employment (employed or unemployed); child birth weight (in ounces, mean-centered); if a child was exclusively breastfed for 6+ months (yes/no); if a child was born in the United States (yes/no); and if a biological mother or father was obese (yes/no).
