Outcome variables: KIDMED, PA. Results of the final models of stepwise linear regression analyses (only showing regression coefficients for the significant independent variables in each model). Imposed: parenting style (reference: authoritative). Association was significant: P < 0.05. Variables included in the model were: age, gender (reference: male), type of school (reference: public), religion (reference: Christian), mother education (reference: high educational level), father education (reference: high educational level), BMI (reference: not overweight), smoking (reference: no), alcohol (reference: no), physical activity, KIDMED, parenting style × age and parenting style × gender.
β, unstandardized coefficient; CI, confidence interval.
