1
Based on repeated maternal and paternal measurements from ages ≥18 y and repeated child measurements between ages 18 and 35 y. MS is categorized as MS (MS at all measurements) or No (no MS at any measurement). A repeated-measure, mixed-effects ANOVA was used to test for differences in mean glucose based on parent MS classification. MS, metabolic syndrome.
