a

Maternal demographics and lifestyle model adjusted for maternal race and ethnicity, education, parity, smoking, and age.

b

Prepregnancy BMI included the maternal demographics and lifestyle model plus prepregnancy BMI.

c

GDM included the maternal demographics and lifestyle model plus GDM.

d

BMI is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared; percentiles in childhood according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reference.35
