ΔBMI score between children with normal weight [reference, boys (N = 1635), girls (N = 1592)] and children with overweight [boys (N = 215), girls (N = 272)] at age 5‐6 years.
ΔBMI score between children from European origin with overweight [reference, boys (N = 89), girls (N = 117)] and children from non‐European origin with overweight [(boys, N = 126), girls (N = 155)].
Only children from European origin included (N = 206). ΔBMI score between children from high socioeconomic status with overweight [reference, boys (N = 35), girls (N = 55)] and middle SES with overweight [(boys (N = 36), girls (N = 45)]/low SES with overweight [(boys (N = 18), girls (N = 17)].
