*

Cardio Metabolic Risk is a continuous sum of risk scores for: blood pressure percentile, waist circumference percentile, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, acanthosis nigricans

**

Metabolic syndrome is categorically defined by having at least three at-risk scores from the following: blood pressure percentile, waist circumference percentile, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose

-

Bolded values indicate statistical significance (p<0.05)

Predictor variables

Child Depression Inventory (CDI) score is an average of a 27-item continuous score

Total sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) intake is a daily kilocalorie average of all SSB variables

Total fruit and vegetable intake is a daily frequency sum of all fruit and vegetable variables

Total meal frequency is a daily frequency sum of all meal variables

Moderate and vigorous physical activity is a daily time average(hours) of moderate and vigorous physical activity variables

Weekday screen time is a daily time average (hours) of all weekday sedentary screen time variables

Weekend screen time is a daily time average(hours) of all weekend sedentary screen time variables

Outcome variables

Body mass index percentile was calculated using height, weight, gender and age in months

Blood pressure percentile was determine via the average of three separate blood pressures and plotted by gender, age and height percentile

Body fat percent was calculated by the Tanita 300 scale for

Waist circumference percentile was measured in centimeters at midline and calculated using gender and age

Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, HgbA1c was obtained (via fingerstick) after a fast (>8 hours)

Random glucose was obtained 2 hours after a high carbohydrate, low fat, low fiber meal

Acanthosis nigricans was assessed by a trained medical professional (physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant) and recorded as negative or positive
