Data are β-coefficients (95% confidence interval) from multiple linear regression analysis
All β-coefficients are related to the non-exposed groups
aMeasurements with famine exposure status (unadjusted for any covariate)
bAdjusted for sex, age, residence, educational status, wealth index, dietary pattern, increased blood pressure, physical activity, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, history of chronic diseases and effect modifiers
cAdult height adjusted for sex, age, residence, educational status, wealth index and effect modifiers (Adjusted model)
