OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, Y younger (12–14 years), O older (15–17 years), BMI body mass index, OwOb overweight/obesity, UwHw underweight/healthy weight, MVPA moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, PA-LPA legitimacy of parental authority regarding physical activity
Bolded values indicate significant odds ratios; parent and adolescent sex were not significant effects
^aReflects associations between latent class membership and dyad characteristic; Complete Influencers is reference class; second characteristic in pair is reference characteristic (e.g., younger adolescents compared to older adolescents)
^b OwOb defined as BMI ≥ 25 kg/m²; UwHw defined as BMI < 25 kg/m²
^c OwOb defined as BMI ≥ 85th percentile; UwHw defined as BMI < 85 percentile
