  1. In minimally and fully adjusted models, multiple regression showed TSFT and SSFT were positively correlated with eGFR in boys; but in female, TSFT and SSFT were only positively correlated with eGFR in fully adjusted model
  2. TSFT triceps skinfold thickness, SSFT subscapular skinfold thickness
  3. Note: Crude model: We did not adjust any covariants. Minimally adjusted model: We adjusted age, race, and standing height. Fully adjusted model: We adjusted age, standing height, race, family income, blood urea nitrogen and uric acid variables
