a—Boys: 1 SD age at infancy BMI peak = 1.85 mo, 1 SD BMI at peak = 1.44 kg/m2, 1 SD age at BMI rebound = 21.36 mo, BMI at rebound = 1.21 kg/m2; Girls: 1 SD age at infancy BMI peak = 3.02 mo, 1 SD BMI at peak = 1.32 kg/m2, 1 SD age at BMI rebound = 20.34 mo, 1 SD BMI at rebound = 1.26 kg/m2; b—Estimates are adjusted for race/ethnicity and age at the early teen visit. Bolded values indicate statistical significance at alpha = 0.05.
