¹Values are Mean ± SE. Mean young adulthood bone variables were adjusted for sex and age of peak height velocity and young adult age, height, weight, physical activity score, total energy intake and other four adolescence dietary pattern scores as continuous variables and were compared across quartiles of adolescence dietary pattern scores using MANCOVA with Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons. Labeled means in a row without a common superscript letter differ, P < 0.05
²Participants in Quartile 4 have the highest adherence to the DPs in adolescence
