FIG. 2. — Correlation between change in standardized BMI during different developmental time periods and adult body composition and fat distribution parameters (early childhood defined as 1–4 years, late childhood defined as 4–10 years, and adolescence defined as 10 years to young adult). Bars indicate β coefficient (95% CIs) expressed as SD in investigated adult body composition parameter per SD change in BMI during that growth period. Variables of adult body composition and fat distribution have been age adjusted. ***P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 significant association between the developmental time period and the investigated body composition parameter. 95% CIs are given for the β coefficients, making it possible to evaluate the differences in relative contribution of the three time periods for each dependent parameter. AT, adipose tissue; Ip, intraperitoneal; NS, not significant; Sc, subcutaneous.
