Model 1: Adjusted for socio‐demographic factors: age, migrant status (native‐born/migrant), educational level (none/primary/junior high/high school/university), work status (unemployed/employed‐student), marital status (unmarried/divorced/widowed/married) and number of children (none/one or two/three or four/more than four). Model 2: Adjusted for socio‐demographic factors: age, migrant status (native‐born/migrant), educational level (none/primary/junior high/high school/university), work status (unemployed/employed‐student), marital status (unmarried/divorced/widowed/married), number of children (none/one or two/three or four/more than four). BMI, WHR and WSR.

Abbreviations: β, regression coefficient; BMI, body mass index; WHR, waist–hip ratio; WSR, waist–stature ratio.
