All correlations use last of the serial measurements from children in the study.

Correlations with the same letter (a/b) are not significantly different from each other.

Model 1, partial correlations were adjusted for age, sex, Tanner stage, and year of birth.

Model 2, partial correlations were adjusted for age, sex, Tanner stage, year of birth, and total body fat from DXA.
