Fig 2 Effect size of nerve conduction amplitudes and monofilament insensitivity compared with 1 year of age. Motor and sensory amplitude per SD lower; 1.4-g and 10-g monofilament insensitivity (inability to feel 3/4 touches); age per year older; separate models adjusted for age, height, total body lean and fat mass; age adjusted for height, total body lean and fat mass. Abbreviation: CMAP, compound muscle action potential.
