BMCI (kg/m2)	0.48 ± 0.01a	0.51 ± 0.00	0.54 ± 0.01b	<0.001
FFSTMI (kg/m2)	13.08 ± 0.14a	13.63 ± 0.05	14.56 ± 0.21a	<0.001
Total FMI (kg/m2)	2.95 ± 0.17c	3.52 ± 0.06	4.88 ± 0.25a	<0.001

BMI, body mass index; BMCI, bone mineral content index; FFSTMI, fat-free soft tissue mass index; FMI, fat mass index.

Values are mean ± standard error adjusted for sex, BMI at birth, and maternal BMI.
