  1. Stratified by age, TSFT was positively associated with glomerular hyperfiltration in male adolescents aged 12–17.99 years. Stratified by BMI, TSFT and SSFT were positively associated with glomerular hyperfiltration in boys
  2. Abbreviations: TSFT, triceps skinfold thickness; SSFT, subscapular skinfold thickness
  3. Note 1: Above are fully adjusted model: adjusted for age, standing height, race, family income, blood urea nitrogen and uric acid
  4. Note 2: In each case, the model is not adjusted for the stratification variable itself
