Fig. 1

Weight status by sociodemographic characteristics among Korean adolescents from multicultural families. All analyses accounted for the complex sampling design effect and appropriate sampling weights. Weight status was assessed according to the 2017 Korean National Growth Chart: underweight (weight-for-age <5^th percentiles), overweight (85^th≤ BMI-for-age <95^th percentiles), and obese (BMI-for-age ≥95^th percentiles). P-values were obtained from the chi-square test.

95% CI, 95% confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; Ref, reference.

1) All analyses accounted for the complex sampling design effect and appropriate sampling weights.

2) OR (95% CI) and P-values were obtained from the multiple logistic regression models after adjustment for sex, age, living area, household income, alcohol drinking, smoking, physical activity, and weight control, where applicable.

3) Underweight n=57, overweight/obese n=177.
