¹Values are β_height ± SEs unless otherwise indicated. Values with different superscript letters are significantly different, P < 0.05/6 = 0.0083. Additional sample information can be found in Supplemental Table 1. Between–race-ethnicity comparisons were performed by using Cochran's Q test for heterogeneity. BW, body weight; FM, fat mass; MA, Mexican American; NH, non-Hispanic; WC, waist circumference.

²Significant correlation between %fat and height, P < 0.05.
