For variables with 3 levels, the “Low” level was used as reference. Due to the interaction, age and sex are described as one variable with 6 levels, the reference level being a boy of 11 y/o. Significant values at p<0.0001 in bold.

The reference level is a boy of 11 y/o in 2006. For example, on Table 2a, being a boy of 11 y/o in 2014 gives an aOR of 1.86 in favor of brushing at least twice a day versus a boy of 11 y/o in 2006. No significant interactions were identified, so the aOR of brushing at least twice a day for a 15 y/o girl in 2014 versus a 15 y/o girl in 2006 is not significantly different from 1.86.
