Figure 3

Plotted marginal effect between categorical weight perception and continuous BMI z-score and Physical HRQoL (female participants). The figure shows the different effects of weight status on female adolescents who have different perceptions of their weight. The outcome in this figure is Physical HRQoL. The unbroken line represents adolescents who perceive themselves to be the ‘right weight,’ whereas the long-dashed line represents adolescents who perceive themselves to be ‘overweight’ and the short-dashed line represents adolescents who perceive themselves to be ‘underweight’.
