Data are β (95% CI). The outcome variables were normalised. Regression coefficient (β) values were calculated with linear regression models and indicate the SD change in the outcome per SD change in the predictor. All models were adjusted for smoking during pregnancy, breastfeeding, mother’s education (years of schooling), household wealth (in minimum wages) at birth and skin colour of the adolescent.
BMI, body mass index; CH, conditional height; CRP, reactive-C protein; CWh, conditional relative weight; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TGL, triglycerides; WC, weight circumference.
