Cross-lagged path analysis of childhood body mass index (BMI) and insulin (n=990), adjusted for age, race, sex, and follow-up years. β1 and β2 are cross-lagged path coefficients; r1 is synchronous correlations; r2 and r3 are tracking correlations; R2 is variance explained. Goodness-of-fit: root mean square residual=0.063 and comparative fit index=0.93. Coefficients different from 0: *P<0.01, †P<0.001 for difference between β1 and β2.
Cross-lagged analysis models of childhood body mass index (BMI) and insulin in normotensive and hypertensive groups, adjusted for age, race, sex, and follow-up years. β1 and β2 are cross-lagged path coefficients; r1 is synchronous correlations; r2 and r3 are tracking correlations; R2 is variance explained. Goodness-of-fit: root mean square residual (RMR)=0.047 and comparative fit index (CFI)=0.94 for hypertensives; RMR=0.069 and CFI=0.93 for normotensives; Coefficients different from 0: *P<0.01, †P<0.001 for difference in β2s between hypertensive and normotensive groups.
