  1. Values are mean ± SE. † High TV viewing: >3 hrs/day.
  2. Model 1: Analysis of covariance adjusted by age, sex, sexual maturation and race. Model 2: Analysis of covariance adjusted by model 1 + weight status. § Values were natural log-transformed, but not transformed values are presented in the table. ‡ Analysis of variance in Model 1 and analysis of variance adjusted by weight status in Model 2.
