Associations of adiposity trajectories through adolescence with PWV

Univariate analysis (n=3417)*
Multivariable adjusted analysis (n=1940)
PWV coefficient, m/s (95% CI) p value PWV coefficient, m/s (95% CI) p value
Total FMI (kg/m2)
Low trajectory −0·00 (−0·06 to 0·05) 0·95 0·02 (−0·06 to 0·09) 0·65
High trajectory 0·07 (0·01 to 0·14) 0·027 0·15 (0·05 to 0·24) 0·0044
Trunk FMI (kg/m2)
Low trajectory −0·03 (−0·08 to 0·02) 0·27 −0·03 (−0·10 to 0·04) 0·41
High trajectory 0·10 (0·03 to 0·17) 0·0041 0·15 (0·06 to 0·25) 0·0021
BMI trajectories (kg/m2)
Low trajectory 0·01 (−0·04 to 0·06) 0·59 −0·05 (−0·11 to 0·02) 0·18
High trajectory 0·09 (0·03 to 0·16) 0·0030 0·04 (−0·04 to 0·13) 0·34

In each case, the middle trajectory is the reference group. PWV=pulse wave velocity. LDL=low density lipoprotein. FMI=fat mass indexed to squared height. BMI=body-mass index.
