Data are presented as average ± SD, adjusted average ± SE for adjusted characteristics, or n (%).
expressed in kg, adjusted for height (cm),
P <0.05,
P <0.01,
P <0.001 indicate significant difference between a given age-at-HCT group and controls. The P values are provided for the purposes of exploratory comparisons.
