Mean MetS severity scores (mean, 95-percent CI) by adult CVD status. Childhood (LRC) and adult (PFS) scores for three groups: 1) disease-free throughout, 2) early CVD (between LRC and PFS), and 3) later incident CVD (between PFS and PHU). Comparison with disease-free group: * p<0.001. Comparison with incident disease between PFS and PHU: # p<0.05.
