  1. Odds ratios were adjusted for sex, baseline age and change in body mass index rank between adolescents and adulthood. CI: confidence interval; NCEP: The National Cholesterol Education program; NHANES: National Health and Nutrition Education Survey; TC: total cholesterol; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG: triglycerides.
