  • Non-biological caregivers were excluded from these analyses (n=13). Covariates in adjusted linear regression models include parent and child age, parent and child height, child lumen diameter (for carotid IMT only), Disadvantage Index and child sex.

  • Disadvantage Index: the Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage.

  • N: number of participants in cohort with this measure.

  • CC, correlation coefficient; ERC, estimated regression coefficient; IMT, intima–media thickness.
