Figure. MetS Z score in childhood and adulthood by incident disease diagnosis
MetS Z-score values during childhood (1973–1976, mean age 13 years) and mid-adulthood (1998–2003, mean age 38 years) among individuals who developed cardiovascular disease (CVD)(A) or diabetes (B) by mid-adulthood, by later adulthood (2010–2014, mean age 50 years) or not at all. From references [15] and [16], used by permission. Comparison with disease-free group: * p<0.05, ** p<0.01. Comparison with incident disease between mid-adulthood and later adulthood: # p<0.05, ## p<0.01.
