  1. Data are presented as mean (SD) for continuous variables with a normal distribution or as median (90% range) for continuous variables with a skewed distribution. Differences between measurements of children at the age of 6 and 10 years were tested through Paired sample t-test or Wilcoxon Signed rank test
  2. Abbreviations: LDL-c Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, HDL-c High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol
