Values above represent the entire cohort used and are either presented as mean ± SD or n (%). TF participants were used to match to different cisgender males (CM) or females (CF) based on the ideal match for age and BMI. Mean ± SD or n (%). *For CM and CF, percentages are given out of total number of reported values. Family history data was missing for several conditions. For CF, there was missing family history of hypertension for 17, hypercholesterolemia for 17 and diabetes for 11 participants. For CM, there was missing family history of hypertension for 11, hypercholesterolemia for 11, diabetes for 10 participants. †For CF, age of menarche was missing for 9 participants (39%).
