Sexual development was assessed by Tanner staging.

Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), HOMA-IR, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, LDL-C, uric acid (UA), sex hormones, and bone age advancement were compared. Spearman correlation and multivariable logistic regression (adjusted for age, sex, and waist-to-height ratio) were performed.
