1
Associations obtained from a negative binomial regression model; estimated AL scores for a given group can be calculated by summing relevant betas and then exponentiating
2
Version i: simple summary approach, with medication correction and sex- and/or age-specific high-risk quartiles for DHEAS, %BF, and WC
3
Italiscized description under the intercept values identifies the subgroup for which the exponentiated intercept provides an AL score
