^aAnalyses were performed using complete case analysis; similar results were found using missing indicators with median imputation (not shown).

^bBoldface P values are statistically significant (P < 0.05).

^cP value adj., adjusted P value corrected for multiple comparisons using the Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR).

^dNot adjusted for age and sex, as calculation of WLZ incorporates age and sex.

^eFat residual adjusted for energy.
