Scatter plot of caregiver hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) by child obesity measures. a) Pearson’s correlation coefficient for caregiver HCC (log-transformed) and child weight: r = 0.25, P = 0.023. b) Pearson’s correlation coefficient for caregiver HCC (log-transformed) and child body mass index: r = 0.23, P = 0.037. c) Pearson’s correlation coefficient for caregiver HCC (log-transformed) and child neck circumference: r = 0.32; P = 0.003. d) Pearson’s correlation coefficient for caregiver HCC (log-transformed) and child waist circumference: r = 0.28; P = 0.009. e) Pearson’s correlation coefficient for caregiver HCC (log-transformed) and child hip circumference: r = 0.23; P = 0.037. f) Pearson’s correlation coefficient for caregiver HCC (log-transformed) and child waist-to-hip ratio: r = 0.14; P = 0.193. g) Pearson’s correlation coefficient for caregiver HCC (log-transformed) and child body fat percentage: r = 0.16; P = 0.188.
