Table 3.

Odds of overweight/obesity in total sample using 2 models: (a) food groups and (b) macronutrients.

Results following mixed effects logistic regression; for total sugars population median was used; reference population were children <50th percentile. Model 1 includes: animal- and plant- protein, non-milk dairy, fruit, and vegetable intakes, adjusted for energy; Model 2 includes: macronutrient intakes (fiber, fat, protein, other non-sugar carbohydrates). Both models were adjusted for children’s and adolescent’s activity level (IPAQ), total screen time and for the primary guardian’s educational level and professional status. Significance at α = 5%.
