Scatterplots showing the relationship between age and (log-transformed) saliva hormone levels for females and males with hormone values above the detection limit.

To illustrate the longitudinal nature of the data, repeated measures over the follow-up period have been connected (black lines) for 10 randomly selected individuals.</p

Descriptive statistics for age at saliva collection, time of saliva collection, saliva flow rate, and hormone measurements at waves 1 to 4 for females (n = 667) and males (n = 572).

Number (%) of females and males in cross-classifications of individuals by hormone level at age 9 years and hormone progression rate over time.

L1, L2, and L3 respectively indicate low, normal, and high predicted hormone levels compared to population; R1 and R2 indicate slow/normal and fast predicted progression rate over time compared to population.</p
