^aModel outcomes controlled for: age, prenatal exposure to maternal cigarette smoking, pubertal status and household income

^bSelf-ordered Pointing is reverse scored so that higher score indicate better performance.

Abbreviations: VF=Visceral Fat; TBF=Total Body Fat. Sex is positive when females are greater than males.
