Age adjusted change in odds ratio of cardiovascular risk factors per standard deviation (SD) increase in (a) height, (b) leg length, (c) trunk length, (d) leg:trunk ratio and (e) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1)* (categorical variables)

(a) Height (change (95% CI), p value per SD increase in height)(b) Leg length (change (95% CI), p value per SD increase in leg length)(c) Trunk length (change (95% CI), p value per SD increase in trunk length)(d) Leg: trunk ratio (change (95% CI), p value per SD increase in ratio)(e) FEV1 (change (95% CI), p value per SD increase in FEV1)
*All confidence intervals are adjusted for intra-family clustering.
