The Appendix contains 3 tables with detailed study results:

 - Table 3. Linear regression examining association between risk factors and arterial parameters at 18-years.

 - Table 4. Linear regression models examining association between independent variables at 12-years and arterial parameters measured at 18-years.

 - Table 5. Linear regression models examining association between independent variables cumulative exposure from puberty to late adolescence and arterial parameters measured at 18-years.

2. Methodological information



The presented tables have been generated with using R software version 1.3.1093 for iOS. The tables list results for linear regression model analysis which was based on a dataset collected during a longitudinal prospective study performed in Estonia 2009-2018. Risk factors for metabolic syndrome in boys during pubertal development: a longitudinal study with special attention to physical activity and fitness. Study included healthy adolescent Caucasian male at the age of 9-12 attending schools in the city and the surroundings of Tartu.
