Model 1 includes percent body fat, and Tanner breast stage; model 2 includes percent body fat, Tanner breast stage, school-related life events, and CAR; model 3 includes percent body fat, Tanner breast stage, school-related life events, CAR, and the interaction of school-related life events and CAR.

CAR, cortisol awakening response; log VAT, visceral adipose tissue, natural log.

Standardized

Tanner breast stage 1 is the comparison group.
