From: Body weight has no impact on self-esteem of minority children living in inner city, low-income neighborhoods: a cross-sectional study

Figure 1

Effect of body weight on the self-perception profile for children’s domain scores of the minority children. (A) scholastic competence; (B) social acceptance; (C) athletic competence; (D) physical appearance; (E) behavioral conduct; and (F) global self-worth. Each domain has six item scores, and is scored either 1, 2, 3 or 4 with 4 representing the most adequate self judgement and 1 representing the least adequate self judgement. Children were considered normal-weight if their BMI values were ≥5th percentile but <85th percentile, overweight if their BMI values were ≥85th percentile but <95th percentile, and obese if their BMI values were ≥95th percentile. Each column represents the estimated mean by generalized linear models after controlling for age, gender, race/ethnicity and centers. The cross bar above each column represents the standard error of the estimated mean. Identical letters above columns indicate no significant difference across weight status.
