From: Trunk-to-peripheral fat ratio predicts a subsequent blood pressure in normal-weight pubertal boys: a 3-year follow-up of the Kitakata Kids Health Study

Fig. 1

Adjusted means and standard errors of systolic blood pressure (SBP) at follow-up for tertiles (T1, T2, and T3) of trunk-to-leg fat ratio (TLR). Mean values were calculated from the general linear model after adjusting for confounding factors, including the age, height, pubic hair appearance, whole body fat, and SBP at baseline. Arrows show a significant trend of SBP from T1 to T3. For trend tests of SBP, multiple linear regression analysis was performed. The dependent variable was SBP at follow-up, and independent variables were tertiles of TLR, age, height, pubic hair appearance, whole body fat, and SBP at baseline
