Adjusted logistic regression for the relationship between maternal employment and overweight, in countries where the association varied by education1, 2. DRC = Democratic Republic of Congo.1 Country-specific odds ratios were estimated using logistic regression to test the relationship employment and overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). Overall odds ratios were generated using meta-analysis and pool estimates across countries.2 All models were adjusted for maternal age (years), parity, marital status (married, not married), number of household members, child age (months), and substitute childcare provider (yes, no). Models included an employmentXeducation interaction term (< primary education, ≥ primary education completed)
