Multilevel correlates of healthy BMI maintenance and return to a healthy BMI among children in Massachusetts.
This study examined predictors of healthy BMI maintenance (HBM) or return to a healthy BMI (RHB) among children. It found that racial/ethnic minorities had lower odds of HBM and RHB than non-Hispanic white children. Higher neighborhood median household income, proximity to a supermarket, and access to more open recreational space were associated with a higher odds of HBM.
