BH indicates behavioral health; SGAP, second-generation antipsychotics; and BMI, body mass index.

*

Age was centered by subtracting its mean 11.3 years.

BH/SGAP+: children having behavioral conditions and taking second-generation antipsychotics; BH/SGAP−: children having behavioral conditions without second-generation antipsychotics; Asthma: children with asthma; Healthy: healthy children.
