CI: confidence interval; HDL: High-density lipoprotein; LDL: Low-density lipoprotein; OR: odds ratio; SES: socioeconomic status. Included in the multivariable model were 146 children (82 with overweight or obesity). p value a from multivariable logistic regression model 1, Nagelkerke R2 = 0.59. p value b from multivariable logistic regression model 2, Nagelkerke R2 = 0.57.
