Models are adjusted for parental age, born abroad or not, parental education, parental employment status, parity, household income. For Lifeways, models were not adjusted for paternal employment status (almost all cases reported being employed/self-employed) and on country of birth (maternal birth outside Ireland was an exclusion criterion). *Significant associations p < 0.05. **IOTF overweight/obesity vs. underweight/normal BMI (reference). OR values of logistic regression and 95% CIs for 1 SD increase in lifestyle pattern score.
