Earlier and later adiposity rebound according to temperament differences.

Vertical axis: AR = adiposity rebound differences scaled in weeks. Positive numbers represent later adiposity rebound (lower obesity risk) for those scoring higher than 2 standard deviations on the temperament dimension. Negative numbers represent earlier adiposity rebound (higher obesity risk) for children scoring higher than 2 standard deviations. Red columns: within siblings = comparison of the high scoring siblings’timing of the adiposity rebound with that of the other sibling. Blue columns: within population = comparison of the high scoring siblings’ timing of the adiposity rebound to that of controls (unrelated children). Numbers in the data table represent weeks. Vertical bars represent the width of the 95% confidence interval. Confidence intervals staying within one end of the bars indicate significance p ≤ 0.05. y = age in years at temperament assessment.
