Abstract:childhood ages. At age 13 years the HR was 1.12 (95% CI: 1.01-1.23) per height z-score and HRs were similar across all ages. Conclusions These findings of positive associations between childhood BMI and height and SLE risk suggest that early life factors may be important in the etiology of SLE.
