bMultiple linear regression adjusted
for other covariates (age, number of children, education, equivalent household income IADL disability, number of chronic disease, economic activity, and number of social activities).
In multivariate analyses, after adjusting
for other covariates, the odds of poorer school performance increased with increasing weekday television screen time and cable movie channel availability and decreased with parental restriction of television content restriction.
Leaving them within the analysis, however, does improve the precision of estimates
for other covariates, which results in a more precise estimate of the treatment effect.

for covariates, eg, the amount of gluten consumed.
These associations were significant after adjustment
for a number of important
covariates known to be associated with vascular health, including lifestyle factors, medication use, and
other nutrients.
Third, although we adjusted
for a comprehensive set of
covariates in our multivariable models, the associations reported in our study may partially result from
other unobserved confounding variables, from residual confounding, or by
other dietary variables.55 However, use of the HEI provided a comprehensive assessment of overall dietary pattern and should have significantly reduced the confounding effect of
other dietary variables.

for caffeinated coffee and
other covariates, compared with women with the lowest consumption of decaffeinated coffee (≤ 1 cup per week), the risk of depression was increased
for higher consumption, with the exception of the very highest consumption category (≥ 2 cups per day).
It should be noted, however, that whether the use of students» pretest scores and
other covariates can account or control

The general pattern showing large jurisdictional differences after controlling
for the
covariates is consistent across each of the five developmental domains with children in Queensland and the ACT showing higher vulnerability compared to children living in the
other jurisdictions.
Other strengths of our analysis include its large nationally representative and diverse sample, as well as the rich availability of
covariates for inclusion in multivariable models.
A
covariate was included in the multivariate analyses if theoretical or empirical evidence supported its role as a risk factor
for obesity, if it was a significant predictor of obesity in univariate regression models, or if including it in the full multivariate model led to a 5 % or greater change in the OR.48 Model 1 includes maternal IPV exposure, race / ethnicity (black, white, Hispanic,
other / unknown), child sex (male, female), maternal age (20 - 25, 26 - 28, 29 - 33, 34 - 50 years), maternal education (less than high school, high school graduation, beyond high school), maternal nativity (US born, yes or no), child age in months, relationship with father (yes or no), maternal smoking during pregnancy (yes or no), maternal depression (as measured by a CIDI - SF cutoff score ≥ 0.5), maternal BMI (normal / underweight, overweight, obese), low birth weight (< 2500 g, ≥ 2500 g), whether the child takes a bottle to bed at age 3 years (yes or no), and average hours of child television viewing per day at age 3 years (< 2 h / d, ≥ 2 h / d).
After adjustment
for the
covariates and
for each
other, there was no evidence
for an association among any of the 3 maternal parenting dimensions and child BMI status (all P values were ≥.69).
To help control
for preintervention group differences, maternal education and income were used as
covariates, because they were correlated significantly with each
other and because education was correlated with experimental condition.
This finding persisted even when controlling
for obesity at age 3 years, several postulated intermediates (including child bottle - feeding and television viewing), and ostensible confounders such as maternal depression, maternal smoking during pregnancy, child birth weight, and
other relevant
covariates.
In addition, 172 children were missing data on
other covariates, leaving 3116 children
for the current analyses.
Even after controlling
for parental monitoring of nonmedia - related behaviors and
other covariates, children were at lower risk of smoking and drinking if their parents prohibited them from watching R - rated movies.
We also examined several
other covariates for possible inclusion in the model, such as father employment status at study registration, but did not include these in the final model because they had no unique relationship to the outcomes.
However, the association remained significant after controlling
for these behaviors as well as a history of psychological problems, use of psychotropic medications, current depressive symptoms, and
other covariates.
The analyses also included age, race / ethnicity (three binary variables
for Black, Hispanic and
other ethnicity, coded with Whites as the reference group), gender, household income and parental education, media - viewing habits — hours watching television on a school day and how often the participant viewed movies together with his / her parents — and receptivity to alcohol marketing (based on whether or not the adolescent owned alcohol - branded merchandise at waves 2 — 4).31 Family predictors included perceived inhome availability of alcohol, subject - reported parental alcohol use (assessed at the 16 M survey and assumed to be invariant) and perceptions of authoritative parenting (α = 0.80).32 Other covariates included school performance, extracurricular participation, number of friends who used alcohol, weekly spending money, sensation seeking (4 - wave Cronbach's α range = 0.57 — 0.62) 33 and rebelliousness (0.71 — 0.76).34 All survey items are listed in tabl

Thus, varying levels of child or adult responsibility
for the drawings did not confound
other effects tested in this study and did not need to be included as a
covariate in further analyses.
Others have also consistently reported that breastfed children score slightly higher than those bottlefed on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development or later tests of IQ, such as the McCarthy Scales, after controlling
for standard
covariates including socioeconomic status (SES), maternal age and education, maternal smoking and drinking, 16, 17 and in one study maternal psychological state.18 Longitudinal studies indicate that these differences persist to 5 years and into school age.
Linear and logistic regression models were used to determine if 6 types of adverse experiences including physical abuse, sexual abuse by family and / or
other persons, witnessing abuse, and household dysfunction caused by family alcohol and / or drug use were significantly associated with risk of adolescent violence perpetration after adjustment

covariates.
Table 2 contains the GLM and logistic regressions assessing the contribution of the independent variables, CU levels, and the presence / absence of ODD on the children's psychological measures
for the total sample (n = 622), adjusted by the
covariates family SES, children's ethnicity and sex,
other comorbid disorder different from ODD and the number of DSM - IV CD symptoms.
For this modeling, the measures of CU (ICU - total raw score) and ODD (binary diagnosis present / absent) were considered as the independent variables and the analyses were adjusted by the
covariates family SES, children's sex and ethnicity, presence of comorbidities
other than ODD and the number of DSM - IV CD symptoms.
Findings related to
other covariates were in expected directions except
for ones related to actor and partner NMQ.
