  • Model 1 is adjusted for age, gender and puberty (adjusted R2=0.05); model 2 is adjusted for age, gender, puberty and body mass index (adjusted R2=0.06). PC, principal component of the face (refer to the text, table 2 and figure 3 for an explanation); B, regression coefficient. Italics indicate statistically significant associations at the level p<0.05 (before Bonferroni corrections).
