Baseline mean systolic for White UK (mm Hg): not overweight boys 107.76 (95% CI 106.94–108.59), not overweight girls 107.73 (106.92–108.54); overweight not obese boys 112.87 (111.17–114.57), overweight not obese girls 110.47 (108.81–112.12); obese boys 115.38 (112.43–118.32), obese girls 115.12 (111.88–118.36).
b ORs adjusted for age, temperature, height, pubertal stage, ethnicity and socio-economic status in logistic regression models.
