The model 1 was resulted from one-way ANOVA, and the numbers are reported as mean ± SD. Model 2 was resulted from covariance analysis, and the numbers are reported as mean ± SE. *p value < 0.05 shows a significant level of association. Model 1: crude. Model 2: Adjusted for age, supplement use, parents’ smoking, physical activity, and socio-economic status
