    <p>Trend line shows a quadratic model fit to the aORs; vertical lines represent 95% Confidence Intervals. The aORs are adjusted for age, race, ethnicity, and poverty status, but not BMI. BMI is used only as a stratification variable. Figure excludes subjects with BMI<17.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (n = 61).</p

    <p>Note: “Column differences” χ<sup>2</sup> p-value assess whether sugary soda consumption differs by level of caloric consumption within each BMI category. “Row differences” χ<sup>2</sup> p-value assess whether sugary soda consumption differs by BMI category within each level of energy intake.</p

    <p>The playing active sports score is the frequency in the past week: 0 = not at all; 1 = 1 or 2 times; 2 = 3 or 4 times; 3 = 5 or more times. Egos may increase by one level, decrease by one level, or stay at the same level.</p

    1<p>Parameters are the weights actors place on various network configurations. They are the contributions to the objective function. The 95% confidence intervals quantify the precision of the estimates a score function method.</p>2<p>The basic rate parameter for friendship controls how often actors have the opportunity to change their network (add, keep, or drop a friend). Higher values indicate more network changes.</p>3<p>The outdegree parameter is the weight placed on having a friendship tie with <i>any</i> member of the social network, irrespective of the alter’s characteristics.</p>4<p>The reciprocity parameter is the weight an actor places on reciprocating alters’ friendship nominations.</p>5<p>The transitive triplets parameter is the weight an actor places on naming friends who are also named by the actor’s friend.</p>6<p>Positive values of “same” and “similarity” measures are the effects of homophily on these attributes.</p
