Notes: ^aDependent variable: overweight/obesity; ^bModel 1 only included predominant dietary patterns; model 2 included adjustment for children’s age and gender; model 3 included further adjustment for children’s daily average time of moderate-to-vigorous physical activities and daily average sedentary time, on weekdays and weekends respectively; model 4 included further adjustment for parents’ socioeconomic status scores and body mass index; ^cData imputation was applied by using modes to replace missing data in children’s daily average time of moderate-to-vigorous physical activities and daily average sedentary time, and medians in parents’ socioeconomic status scores and body mass index; ^dReference: the “Chinese traditional” pattern
