Unadjusted and adjusted association analyses of child and adult adiposity predictors of LTL.

AR is adiposity rebound; LTL is leukocyte telomere length. WHR is waist-to-hip ratio, BMI is body mass index, calculated as weight (kg)/height (m)2. BAI is body adiposity index, calculated as (hip circumference (cm))/((height(m)1.5)−18). BMI z-score change was calculated separately in males and females as the difference between the z-scores of BMI at AR, and BMI at 31 years. The number of individuals in each analysis is given (N); those in adjusted analyses are slightly lower than corresponding unadjusted analyses due to missing data for one or more covariates.
aLinear regression model adjusted for maternal parity, SES at birth, Smoking at 31 years, SES at 31 years, children at 31 years and qPCR plate. In addition to these potential confounders, the model was also adjusted for age at menarche in women.
b% change in LTL per unit change in predictor variable.
cStatistically significant Pcorrected values are shown in bold. FDR Pcorrected values were calculated after adjustment using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure [34], which provides a correction for multiple testing.
