Table 3.

The LD score regression analysis results of early growth parameters and corresponding adult traits.

Coefficients p value
ABMI vs. CBMI 0.7435 2.48 × 10−99
Adult height vs. 10F + 12M 0.7274 6.62 × 10−67
Adult height vs. PGF + PGM 0.5303 4.31 × 10−23
Adult height vs. PTF + PTM 0.2088 0.0008

Note: 10F + 12M, the take-off phase of the growth spurt height standard deviation score SDS at 10 years in girls and 12 years in boys; PGF + PGM, the overall contribution of growth across puberty to adult height change SDS between 8 years and adult; PTF + PTM, the timing of peak height velocity by looking at the height change SDS between age 14 years and adult; ABMI, adult body mass index; CBMI, childhood body mass index.
