Model: Ln odds of adulthood values exceed cutpoint = Intercept + a (yes(1)/no(0) corresponding childhood values exceeds criterion values) + b (age adulthood BMI ≥30 first discovered).
EBMI, elevated BMI at a single examination in childhood that exceeds age- and sex-specific criteria established the first part of the table; EWC, enlarged waist circumference at a single examination in childhood that exceeds age- and sex-specific criteria established in the first part of the table.
ORs in bold face are significant at P < .05.
