High BMI, hyperglycaemia, and low calcium levels were found as independent risk factors for TTAF in children. In addition, decreased oestradiol, elevated progesterone, and insulin resistance were identified as potential risk factors for TTAF. A history of knee pain may be suggestive of bilateral TTAF.
