*BMI z-score = Z-score-converted value from the 2007 Korean growth chart.
Blood data (Glucose, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (Tchol), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-crp)) were log-transformed prior to analysis. Tested by age- and gender-adjusted partial correlation analysis.
†Significant associations (value < 0.05) are marked in bold.
