Bolded font indicates statistical significance at P<0.05.

Model 1 Adjusted for age at baseline and follow-up, baseline biomarker level,and race/ethnicity.

Model 2 Model 1 + pubertal status (pre-pubertal vs. pubertal) and weight status (non-overweight/obese vs. overweight/obese) at baseline

Model 3 Model 2 + change in BMI z-score
