: All procedures performed in this study were in accordance with the legislation in force at the time of assessment and with the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study, and confidentiality of data was ensured throughout process. In cases in which the participants were younger than 18 years old, informed consent from their parents or legally authorized representative was required.

The 2004 and 2015 Pelotas birth cohorts were approved by the Universidade Federal de Pelotas Research Ethics Committees. The 2004 cohort was accepted by the Ethics Committee of the School of Medicine, and the 2015 cohort, by the Ethics Committee of the School of Physical Education.
