The associations between socio-demo-economic characteristics and patterns of concordance between parent-child body weight status: Multinomial logistic models1.

1The odds ratio (OR) for specific patterns of concordance in dyad overweight status as observed across socio-demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. All the variables shown in this table (Table 5) were specified in the multinomial logistic model. For each model for the father-child dyads, the reference group for the dependent variable were non-overweight father-non-overweight child dyads. The same held for mother-child dyads; the reference group for the dependent variable for each model were non-overweight mother-non-overweight child dyads.2Overweight status was defined as BMI ≥25 kg/m2 for adults and BMI ≥85th percentile for children.3NH, non-Hispanic.4MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.Source: Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, 2006–2007.
