Assessment of the odds ratio of the incidence of body mass disorders in children relative to mother and father’s BMI classification based on three two-factor logistic regression models (separately determined for incidence of overweight, obesity and overweight or obesity).
Independent Factors | Effect | Prevalence Among Children | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Overweight | Obesity | Overweight or Obesity | ||
OR (95% C.I.) | ||||
BMI Classification (Father) | obesity vs. normal | 1.87 (1.58–2.23) * | 2.26 (1.62–3.15) * | 2.03 (1.73–2.37) * |
overweight vs. normal | 1.36 (1.18–1.57) * | 0.98 (0.72–1.34) | 1.30 (1.14–1.48) * | |
BMI Classification (Mother) | obesity vs. normal | 1.91 (1.62–2.26) * | 2.41 (1.72–3.39) * | 2.07 (1.77–2.42) * |
overweight vs. normal | 1.38 (1.21–1.59) * | 1.68 (1.25–2.26) * | 1.45 (1.28–1.65) * |
OR—odds ratio; C.I.—confidence interval. p < 0.05 (*).
