a

Children with low BIVs or modified z-score >25 (at either examination) are excluded.

b

Odds ratio represents the odds of having a high BIV at the 2nd examination among those who had a high BIV at the 1st examination vs. the odds of a high follow-up BIV among those who did not have a high initial BIV

c

Values are Ns for the cross-classification of BIVs at ages 2 y and 4 y
