-- Variable not included in final model because it did not contribute to overall significance or confound associations between the independent and dependent variables.
Each column represents one of the 5 dependent variables, respectively. All models included the following covariates: child age (10–12 vs 7–9 years old), gender (male vs female), race/ethnicity (other and non-Hispanic black vs Hispanic/Latino), and BMI percentile category (≥ 95th vs < 95th); and parent age (> 36 years vs ≤ 36 years), sex (male vs female), BMI category (≥ 30 vs < 30), and proportion of years spent living in the US (> 0.67 and 0.34–0.67 vs ≤ 0.33)
Categorized as ≥ 1 cup equivalent per 1000 kcal/day versus <1 cup equivalent per 1000 kcal/day
Categorized as ≥ 5.0% of total kilocalories from sugar-sweetened beverages/day versus < 5.0% of total kilocalories from sugar-sweetened beverages/day
Categorized as ≥ 8 hours of sedentary time/day versus < 8 hours of sedentary time/day
Categorized as ≥ 60 minutes of moderate-vigorous PA/day versus < 60 minutes of moderate-vigorous PA/day
Categorized as More frequent (≥ 1–3 times per week) versus less frequent (≤ 2–3 times/month)
Categorized as High (always/usually) versus low (sometimes/never)
Categorized as Yes versus No
