Fully adjusted repeated-measures associations between central obesity and primary blood-pressure outcomes among children and adolescents with normal BMI.

Outcome	Events/observations	Central-obesity events/observations	Adjusted OR (95% CI)	P value
Above-normal BP	1159/7192	75/317	1.43 (1.07, 1.90)	0.016
High BP at survey examination	554/7192	40/317	1.54 (1.07, 2.21)	0.022

Model adjusted for age, sex, survey year, BMI, total energy intake, fat and protein energy percentages, household income, household size, and urbanicity index. ORs were estimated using population-average generalized estimating equations. Abbreviations: BP, blood pressure; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
