Abbreviations: PRS, polygenic risk score.
Adjusted for age, pubertal status, body mass index, early-life factors (birth weight and gestational age), lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, and sleep duration), maternal age and body mass index, and deprivation composite score.
Additionally adjusted for telomere length at baseline.
