Table 5

Adjusted odds ratios of selected foods and physical activity for those who were overweight or obese compared to normal weight youth*.

	Whole study population	Nonboarders
	Adjusted OR (95% CI)	Adjusted OR (95% CI)
Fruit (≥2 servings per day)^a	0.74 (0.43–1.26)	0.87 (0.48–1.58)
Vegetables (≥4 servings per day)^a	1.03 (0.50–2.14)	1.03 (0.50–2.14)
Takeaway foods (≥2 per week)^a	0.99 (0.53–1.89)	0.99 (0.53–1.88)
Turtle (≥2 per week)^a	1.62 (0.85–3.09)	1.62 (0.85–3.09)
Dugong (≥2 per week)^a	1.89 (1.07–3.34)	1.80 (0.93–3.48)
Fish (≥2 per week)^a	0.99 (0.55–1.79)	0.99 (0.55–1.79)
Physical activity in the last week^a (0–3 days)	2.50 (1.44–4.34)	2.33 (1.26–4.30)

*All logistic regression models and odds ratios (unless stated) were adjusted for age, sex, physical activity, and boarder versus nonboarders.
^aInformation obtained through the “short nutrition questionnaire”.
^bLogistic regression model and odds ratio for physical activity were adjusted for age, sex, boarder versus nonboarders, and consumption of fruit, vegetables, turtle, and dugong.
