  1. Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL-c, fasting serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA, homeostasis model of assessment; LDL-c: fasting serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP, systolic blood pressure; Trigs, fasting serum triglycerides. Model 1: is adjuisted for age (at time of anthropometric measurement), pubertal stage, and height. Model 2: is adjusted for variables included in model 1 plus presence of asthma, maternal education, household annual income, and ethnicity.
