The data shown represent β (95% CI). Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Model 0 = non-adjusted, Model 1 = adjusted by age and sex. Bold values denotes statistically significant differences between groups at p < 0.05 or less. Reference group; non-ethnic ascendant schoolchildren.
