Scatterplot of the association between fWHR and adolescent testosterone (adjusted for age). Data are split into age ranges (<12 years, between 12–16 years, and 16+ years). Testosterone values were adjusted for age by regressing log-transformed testosterone on log-transformed age and saving the unstandardized residuals.
