Abbreviations: Height SDS: height standard deviation scores; BMISDS: body mass index standard deviation scores; IGF-1 SDS: insulin like growth factor-1 standard deviation scores; SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; UA: uric acid; TG: triglyceride; TC: total cholesterol; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein-cholesterol; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL-C: very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol. P < 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant
