Cross-sectional structural equation model of total parental adverse childhood experiences and boys’ body mass index percentile (n = 305). Standardized path coefficients (β) are presented with 95% confidence intervals and * indicates two-sided statistical significance at P <0.05. Error terms are not displayed for ease of presentation. The model was analyzed using HCHS/SOL Youth sampling weights and was adjusted for parental education, parent’s nativity status (US-mainland born vs. all other birth places), parent’s sex, children’s age, and children’s Hispanic/Latino background group (Mexican vs. other Hispanic/Latino background).
