aSignificantly different from Adolescent group (p < 0.05).

bSignificantly different from School-age group (p < 0.05).

cSignificantly different from Infant group (p < 0.05).

dSignificantly different from Fetal group (p < 0.05). Mgroup and Fgroup refer to the famine group according to mother’s or father’s birth time, respectively. Mothers or fathers who were born 1946.1.1–1948.12.31 are classified as adolescent famine exposure; born 1949.1.1–1956.12.31 are classified as school-age famine exposure; born 1957.1.1–1958.12.31 are classified as infancy famine exposure; born 1959.1.1–1961.12.31 are classified as fetal famine exposure; born 1962.1.1–1969.12.31 are classified as the control group.
