Large Clothing Size in Children Is Associated with High Body Mass Index and Clustering of Medical Comorbidities

Table 2

Result of logistic regression to estimate the adjusted odds ratio for the association of CS with clustering of obesity-associated morbidities.

Independent predictors	OR	95% CI	P value
Model 1: without indices of adiposity
CS > +2	2.42	1.43–3.45	<0.001
Age (per year)	1.05	1.01–1.13	0.023
Sex (girl versus boy)	0.79	0.59–1.06	0.471
Model 2: including indices of adiposity
NC  >  90th percentile	2.98	1.44–6.14	0.003
BMI  >  85th percentile	1.83	1.21–2.84	0.006
CS > +2	1.64	1.02–2.67	0.043
Abdominal obesity	1.28	0.77–2.13	0.331
Gender	0.85	0.62–1.26	0.293
Age (per year)	0.84	0.62–1.15	0.183

Abbreviations: CS: clothing size; NC: neck circumference; BMI: body mass index; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.
