Model 1: variables included were sex, migration background, ADHD/ADD, anxiety/depression, BMI SDS and age at start of treatment, treatment response and parental SES.
Model 2: variables included were sex, migration background, ADHD/ADD, anxiety/depression, BMI SDS and age at start of treatment, treatment response, and maternal and paternal education.
*Good response=decrease of BMI SDS ≥0.25 units; no response=BMI SDS ±0.24 units; poor response=increase of BMI SDS ≥0.25 units; dropouts=no follow-up measure or less than 1 year between their first and last measure.
ADHD/ADD, attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity; BMI SDS, body mass index SD score; SES, socioeconomic status.
