Model 1 includes total abdominal adipose tissue and Tanner breast stage; model 2 includes total abdominal adipose tissue, Tanner breast stage, school-related life events, and CAR; model 3 includes total abdominal adipose tissue, Tanner breast stage, school-related life events, CAR, and the interaction of school-related life events and CAR.

CAR, cortisol awakening response.

Tanner breast stage 1 is the comparison group.
