* Continuous outcome: descriptives are mean (SD) and estimates are differences in means (Lifestyle Advice - Standard Care) from linear regression model; adjusted models include study centre, parity, maternal BMI category, smoking status, maternal age at trial entry, SEIFA IRSD quintile, infant gender and actual child age at 3–5 year assessment as covariates

# Binary Outcomes: descriptives are N (%) and estimates are Relative Risk of outcome (Lifestyle Advice / Standard Care) from log binomial regression model; adjusted models include study centre, parity, maternal BMI category, smoking status, maternal age at trial entry, SEIFA Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD) quintile, infant gender and actual child age at 3–5 year assessment as covariates

a Adjusted for variables listed in (a) plus child sex and actual age at followup

b Adjusted model uses log Poisson regression with robust variance due to nonconvergence of log binomial

c Unadjusted model uses log Poisson regression with robust variance due to nonconvergence of log binomial
