Association between alternative healthy eating index (AHEI) with metabolic health status in adolescents with overweight and obesity

Table 3 Multivariable-adjusted odds ratio for MUO across tertiles of alternate healthy eating index-2010 (n = 203)^a

	Tertiles of energy-adjusted alternate healthy eating index-2010^b				Per 1 score (unit) increase in AHEI-2010
	T₁ (n = 68) Score < 49	T₂ (n = 67) 49–62	T₃ (n = 68) > 62	P_trend	Per 1 score (unit) increase in AHEI-2010

^aAll values are odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Model 1: Adjusted for age, sex, energy intake. Model 2: More adjustments for physical activity levels, socioeconomic status. Model 3: Further adjustments for BMI
^bAlternate healthy eating index-2010 components were adjusted for energy intake based on residual method
