How can you use “tsf” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • (Adjustment for childhood height, which was also associated with an earlier menarche, did not alter the relation of menarcheal age to adult levels of BMI and TSF.)

  • We then examined whether the inverse relation of menarcheal age to adult levels of BMI and TSF resulted from the earlier menarche of girls who were already overweight in childhood (Table 4).

  • Adult levels of BMI and TSF were more strongly associated with childhood levels of these characteristics (Table 4, bottom), with differences of 8.6 kg/m 2(whites) and 12.

  • However, adjustment for pre-menarcheal differences in levels of BMI and TSF reduced these adult differences by 60%-75%, to 0.8 kg/m 2(blacks) and 1.4 kg/m 2(whites).

  • Other results indicate that leptin may play a role in the initiation of puberty [ 25 ] , and each 1 ng/mL increase in serum leptin has been associated with a 1-month decrease in menarcheal age [ 24 ] . The apparent effect of early menarche on adult obesity may therefore result from the influence of childhood obesity on both the timing of menarche and the risk for adult obesity [ 16 ] . It should be realized, however, that although controlling for childhood BMI and TSF greatly reduced the inverse relation of menarcheal age to adult obesity, a relatively small, independent association remained.
