Notes:
1.
Relative Risk Ratios, with 95% Confidence Intervals in brackets.
2.
Models control for respondent age, education, income, childhood household structure, childhood home finances, and parent nativity, race, and sex.
3.
DV = Health Behaviors, where “Normative Behaviors” = diet, exercise, weight loss programs, “Risky Behaviors” = purging, laxatives, fasting, diuretics, diet pills, and other supplements, with the comparison group being “No Dieting Behaviors.”
