FFM and FM were indexed to height squared to account for growth throughout adolescence. Model 1; Unadjusted. Model 2: Model 1 + adjustments for sex, height, SBP, LDL-C, and CRP. Model 3: Model 2 + adjustments for socioeconomic class, physical activity, smoking, exposure to passive smoking, and dietary intake. Absolute FFM model also adjusted for FM; absolute FM model for FFM; and SBP model for both FFM and FM. SBP trajectories were not adjusted for SBP at 17 years.
