Table 4 Multinomial logistic regressions showing associations between weight status of the child and the child reporting more or less health related behaviour than their parent

From: Agreement between parent and child report of physical activity, sedentary and dietary behaviours in 9-12-year-old children and associations with children’s weight status

  

Crude analyses, unadjusted

Adjusted for gender, SES and ethnicity, weight status and age of parent
