URI, urban/rural indicator; ALSPAC, Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
*
Adjusted for gender, maternal education, maternal age at delivery, highest parental social class and home ownership status. Note: 340 children with dietary data were unassigned to food clusters (290 from ‘urban’, 20 from ‘town’, 25 from ‘village’, 5 from ‘hamlet’).
