  • Note: BMI = body mass index, CI = confidence interval, HDL = high-density lipoprotein.

  • * Adjusted for all other variables in the Table.

  • Children were assigned ethnicity based on the highest-risk ethnicity of their parents (see Appendix 2, available at www.cmaj.ca/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1503/cmaj.121834/-/DC1).
